Subject: The Municipal Market (Mercado Municipal) is a sprawling stew of Amazon River life and commerce, it was modeled by Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel after Les Halles of Paris and built in 1906 of imported cast iron. Imbued with strong smells reminiscent of its Parisian parent, the market offers huge slabs of Amazon fish, exotic tropical fruits, Indian handicrafts and close-up views of the boats that use the river as a liquid highway. (NY Times, 2/21/93).
