History

Los Globos was born in the late 1970s, when the wife and children of an artist came to Ensenada, from Mexico City, to be near him.

At that time he was working as a sketcher on an animation studio in Los Angeles, California.

In that city the family of this artist started buying used clothing for resale in Ensenada.

To sell their merchandise, they set up a very simple kiosk right on the sidewalk of one of the streets where this famous market is currently located.

Their business began to draw the attention of the Ensenadians and soon they had to enlarge their booth and bring more merchandise.

Over time other vendors, using the same buy/sell technique, set up shops and stalls near the family´s business mentioned here.
