A
Mercado Ex-Cuartel
This army barracks-turned-public market has three sections: shoes, clothes and artesanías. The first two areas are aimed mainly at locals, although travelers can find decent leather sandals and cool soccer shirts (not to mention puffy pink dresses). The best artesanía products here are the hammocks, which hang from high hooks like fresh laundry, in many colors, sizes and varieties.

B
Mercado Nacional de Artesanías
A couple of dozen stands sell the gamut of Salvadoran crafts in this outdoor market: miniatures, colorful wood creations, black pottery, indigo dresses…you name it, they've probably got it. Shop around a bit before you buy - the quality varies quite a bit. It's located behind the Fería Internacional de El Salvador.
