There are endless opportunities to purchase a remembrance of your vacation along Fifth Avenue. Souvenirs range from inexpensive sombreros, shot glasses and keychains to fine local handicrafts. Examples of the later include quality linen, woven clothes, colorful embroidery, silver jewelry, ceramics, leather goods plus gorgeous paintings and intricate wood carvings. Also consider something for the taste buds such as chocolate, salsas or a local anise and honey liqueur named Xtabentún. Half the fun of your shopping adventure is bargaining for the best price, a time-honored Mexican tradition. The key word here is “half.” Start by offering 50% less than the initial quote. But don’t expect the shopkeepers at brand stores to negotiate. The price you see is the price you will pay.
