Shopping in Mérida

  1. A

    Miniaturas

    Here you’ll find lots of small Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) tableaux, tinwork and figurines of every sort, from ceramics to toy soldiers. They all have two things in common: they’re easy to pack and have nothing to do with Yucatecan artisan traditions! The store is definitely fun to browse and prices are fixed at a fair rate, so you needn’t worry about bargaining.

    One place to start looking for handicrafts is this government-supported market for local artisans selling just about everything. Prices are fixed and a bit high.
