With the purpose of understanding when two subshifts of finite type are equivalent from the point of view of their spaces of Markov measures we propose the notion of Markov equivalence. We show that a Markov equivalence must respect the cycles (periodic orbits) of the subshifts. In particular, Markov equivalent subshifts of finite type have the same zeta function.
