Market shopping in Central Pacific Coast

  1. A

    Mercado de Artesanías

    Bargaining is the standard at this 400-stall mercado, especially as sellers often find suckers among the many cruise-ship passengers. The market is located between Avenida Cuauhtémoc and Velásquez de León and is Acapulco’s main craft market. It’s paved and pleasant, and an OK place to get better deals on everything that you see in the hotel shops including hammocks, jewelry, clothing and T-shirts.

  2. B

    Mercado Central

    This truly local market, a sprawling indoor-outdoor bazaar, has everything from atole to zapatos (shoes) – not to mention produce, hot food and souvenirs. Any eastbound ‘Pie De La Cuesta’ or ‘Pedregoso’ bus will drop you off here; get off where the sidewalk turns to tarp-covered stalls.
