Souvenirs and handcraft Continental Mexico

 Shopping

If you like jewellery, you need to know that Mexican silver is of excellent value, and that local silversmiths are very good. Make sure there are three hallmarks: the one of the workshop, the one of the country (a Mexican eagle) and a number corresponding to the alloy (925 = 92.5% pure) Mexico is paradise for handicraft: pottery, glassware, wickerwork, (hammocks, ask for a "matrimonial" for more comfort), leather ware, wooden toys and masks, colonial style ornaments, Indian cloths. Shops are open every day from 9:00 AM (10:00 AM for some) to 8:00 PM, with a break from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Handicraft and souvenir markets are open all day from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
