Lots to Explore at Navojoa’s Municipal Market

Whether you are looking for a specific item to purchase or are just looking for a place where you can walk around and browse at various items for sale and perhaps grab a bite to eat, visiting the Navojoa Mercado Municipal (municipal market) is a fun way to spend time while in Navojoa.

The Mercado Municipal Manuel Ávila Camacho is located in downtown Navojoa, and in addition to being the city’s busiest shopping district it is also a transportation hub for Navojoa’s Une buses.

Construction began on this community market on June 24, 1943. June 24th is an important date in Southern Sonora and other parts of Mexico, because it is the feast day of St. John the Baptist and a day when festivals and other observances also focus on requests for the rainy season to begin.

The market was christened with the name Manuel Ávila Camacho to honor the man who was president of Mexico at that time. The inaugural ceremony for the municipal market was held on August 31, 1946.

The Navojoa Mercado Municipal has dozens of small stores that sell a variety of goods, from hats, clothing and shoes to fresh beef and chicken, fresh fruits and vegetables, hardware and work implements.

It also has several restaurants where you can enjoy a variety of traditional Mexican dishes.

Enjoying a shaded stroll through the municipal market is also a great way to make new friends in Navojoa.

Sacred Heart Parish in Navojoa

Español

A Picturesque, Inspirational and Interesting Place to Visit

Groundbreaking for the temple of the Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Navojoa began in early 1920. The parish’s first mass was celebrated on the site on May 20, 1920, officiated by Bishop Don Juan Navarrete.

Work continued on the structure during the 1920s, but was halted during the period of the Cristero War in Mexico, a rebellion caused by the Mexican government’s enforcement of secular provisions of the 1917 Mexico Constitution. During that time, some protesters took images of saints from the church and smashed them on Calle Morelos.

The building of the temple was renewed after that time, and the church’s apse was completed in 1940. Construction on the rest of the temple began anew in 1952 and the church building was completed in December of 1957.

The Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish is a beautiful place of worship located just a block from the city’s Plaza Cinco de Mayo. It is not only a spiritual center in Navojoa, but also a popular place for tourists to visit.
