En este trabajo se realiza una comparación entre dos mercados itinerantes del metropolitano Valle de Toluca, México. Muestra el origen de los productos que se intercambian en cada uno de ellos y las maneras de articulación de las economías urbano-populares y campesinas e indígenas al mercado global, a través de este tipo de mercados. Se parte del reconocimiento que este tipo de mercados (los itinerantes) conforman un segmento de demanda y oferta, por el que compiten con otras modalidades de comercio (mercados fijos, supermercados y mercados de élite), lo que ha dado entrada a un proceso de marginación de esta modalidad, ilustrada en la comparación de los mercados tianguis (para usar la expresión prehispánica) de Toluca y de Ixtlahuaca.----This paper aim is to make a comparison between two nomadic markets of the metropolitan area of Toluca, México. It shows the origin of each one of the products that are exchanged in these markets and the forms of articulation of urban and country or indigenous economies, contrasting them with global markets. This work recognizes the importance of street markets in the supply and demand economical cycle, which tendency, is to consider only supermarkets and elite markets into the economical competition rates of a city. Street markets are commonly left behind, but for societies like Toluca, they represent a common place of recognition and gathering processes. Tianguis (as in the pre-Hispanic word) from Toluca and Ixtlahuaca are been analyzed in this article.
