What to do at the end of your visit to Chinatown?…read more Stop in to buy bottled water. Thanks Doc not the regular size from Costco like at home but a much larger size. I saw a few people during our probably 8 block walk carrying this size too.

I have been coming to this city for over ten years, and today was the very first time when I had…read morethe opportunity to come and check this place out. This crafts market is located in the central part of the city, and it's near a court of other food markets. The market itself has well over 100 individual stores, and each store has some different to offer. I came in at around noon, and many of the shops that I walked passed, encouraged me to come and see what they have. There are so many near things to choose from that I decided to return this weekend when I have some money in my pocket. I saw some really cool authentic hand made plates that my wife would love. The prices here are also fair, especially considering the time it takes to make some of these pieces. Apart from the awesome crafts, I think that this would be a great way to support the community here.

Really wonderful market- lots of stalls w similar items but really pleasant shopkeepers- not pushy,…read moreno one hollering at you and very fair prices. If you don't speak Spanish and don't want to haggle, look for the stores with posted prices- there are plenty. Culturally, this is not a market where you haggle/try to cut the prices much- so don't go in thinking an item listed at 500 pesos can be bought for 100. Be respectful, much of this is made by the sellers, some working right onsite. Loads of beautiful stuff, from jewelry to tiled mirrors (mine made it home safely!) and alebrijes. Many things you won't find at the airport stores (though it has some decent items), so this market is worth the trip. I brought cash but many stores/booths accept cards here.
