  3. PiQ' Art

    A gem of a place, this tiny yellow house is brimming with beautiful works of Honduran art: the walls are laden with dozens of oil paintings, the floors are lined with intricately carved sculptures and furniture, and long tables display finely crafted pottery and a few pieces of seed jewelry too. It may be pricey but it's the best value in town.

  6. Souvenir El Buen Amigo

    Don't be discouraged by so-so sister shops #1 and #2 - this is the best of the Buen Amigo lot.

And if you're in the market for kitsch, no worries - there is a fine selection of loud T-shirts, 18-Rabbit shot glasses and coconut monkeys.
