A
Mercado de Sonora
Has all the ingredients for Mexican witchcraft. Aisles are crammed with stalls hawking potions, amulets, voodoo dolls and other esoterica. This is also the place for a limpia (spiritual cleansing), a ritual that involves clouds of incense and an herbal brushing. Sadly, some vendors at the market trade illegally in endangered animals.

Centro de Artesanías la Ciudadela
A favorite destination for good stuff from all over Mexico. Worth seeking out are Oaxaca alebrijes (whimsical painted animals), guitars from Paracho, and Huichol beadwork. Prices are generally fair, even before you bargain.
