I would say is one of the nicest plazas I have visited along my life. Although malls in US are big…read moreand some of them very luxury or huge (like the one in Minneapolis), this was both in an open/enclosed environment with a great variety of stores that only in big cities in US are present. High technology displayed all along the plaza. A few examples: the Bancomer ATM area with a wall of led screens presenting ads and digital spectacle. Liverpool has led screens on its outside walls that display ads as well as light changes. Palacio de Hierro has led light that changes the outside walls (which by the way, is an architectural piece of work!). The restaurants are top notch and all of them have a patio where you can enjoy the great weather this city has. And well, it has a pay parking lot with lots of security around which makes you feel safe. Good experience and a great weekend experience with family. One last comment...it's pricey, so be prepared to use your CC!!!

If a tourist center like San Miguel de Allende gathers its prototypical souvenir purveyors in one…read morespot, this would be the way to do it. The downside is that so many of the shops feel quite redundant that it's easy to bypass businesses when you know you'll see another shop selling basically the same things... magnets, masks, coasters, ashtrays, Virgin Mary plaques, you name it (Photo 8). There are two covered blocks of vendors after which we found ourselves in Mercado Ignacio Ramírez, a more open space featuring fresh produce, flower stalls, and fast local food stalls. It would've been more tempting to us if we didn't already have lunch at Jacques nearby (review: https://yelp.to/1eEKC6YG8X). Our walkthrough of the market was more of an Instagram op, which was just fine. RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?

It's kind of a must-see when in SMdA, and definitely worth the visit. It's huge, spanning a couple…read moreof blocks, but tbh, so much of the arts and crafts are really similar. It's a great place to shop for souvenirs and the people working the stalls are super friendly. There are a couple of good restaurants nearby and some require a wait, so the Mercado is a great place to walk around before your meal. Highly recommended for local color.

They have great cookware and serving ware that's clearly high quality and finished by hand. Much nicer than what you'll find in the market or one of the general tourist stores. Of note they're cash only and since many of their bigger pieces are $1000 MX -- come prepared. Their shipping fees are pretty insane too. If you want to purchase from them, be sure to have some extra space in your suitcase.
