Lonely Planet review

This cluttered gallery, with paintings seemingly tumbling out onto the sidewalk, specializes in regional folk art, especially the works of the late Nilo Lanzas. His daughter operates the shop. Lanzas began painting at age 63, and produced an impressive body of work up to his death just a few years ago. Museums and serious collectors have snatched up many of Lanzas' paintings already, but there are dozens of nice pieces, all very eye-catching and worthy of homes.

Lanzas' work is, in fact, very easy to like. His daughter, Mina, also paints and her works show alongside her fathers and a few other artists from the city and its surrounds.
