I've come here so many times but keep forgetting to leave a review precisely bc all of these types of stores fall under the same premise. But one thing I can say is they do have more Architecture books do to the importance & fame of the museum's Architect Teodoro González de León RIP.

Walk on street called "Amargura", it has many art venues. This particularly is someone's house and has 2 story's on the front, as you walk in there you can see a current exhibit. The business owner who is also a painter had some of her work, which i found to be exquisite. I wish I had the money to buy one of her paintings , it was very modern and cozy. This Gallery is also available for rent. Beautiful setting for ART shopping in this entire block, and plaza. Across from it there is a small shopping center with breath taking restaurants. Mixing buildings from the early 1600 and 1800's with the contemporary, Must see to believe. LOVE this street and this Gallery. Ahhhh dreaming can be costly. Truly. Truly.....

We didn't make it to the San Ángel neighborhood when we visited Mexico City for the first time in…read more2023, but we visited a couple of weeks ago when we returned to Mexico City. It's a lovely neighborhood - well worth a visit for people visiting the city. One of the reason it's so great? Plaza San Jacinto. The plaza is traditional, with a fountain in the center and paths leading to it from each corner and side of the plaza. With plenty of trees, benches, and people, it's a great place for a walk/stroll or to sit on a bench and listen to music or read or people watch. But the highlight of a visit to Plaza San Jacinto? Every Saturday, it hosts the Bazaar Sábado - a traditional market of hundreds of artists, artisans, and sellers of almost everything you can imagine. We were lucky to be walking through the Plaza around 6pm on a Saturday (the market is from 10am-7pm every Saturday), and it was such a treat. But on every side of the Plaza are gorgeous buildings that house shops, restaurants, and a museum (Museo Casa del Risco), making the Plaza and its surroundings a great place to spend a few hours!

The Saturday artist market in the plaza always includes a wealth of talented painters lining the pathways although kitsch and craft has crept in since tourists discovered the market. I still deeply regret not buying a fantastic almost-abstract landscape painting years ago and that stayed in my mind as I strolled through the plaza and the thin stone streets of San Ángel.

It doesn't seem as busy and it feels more like Mexico than many of the urban areas. This market is a part of what gives the area its charm. Because coyoacan is the home of Frida Kahlo, Coyoacan is known to be home to many artists. While I didn't see that on a Tuesday afternoon, I hear the weekends and nights are more lively. This market full of local vendors, but a lot of what's here is touristy souvenirs that aren't cheap. Was considering rating this 3 stars as I couldn't find anything I really wanted to buy; however I do think it's an essential part of the local flavor
