Lonely Planet review for Edificio La Francia

Venezuela is a major gold producer, so keen-eyed travelers can pick up some tempting bargains. The nucleus of Caracas' gold market is the legendary central Edificio La Francia, which boasts 10 stories of jewelry shops - about 100 shops in all. It's usually brimming with eager shoppers sporting a glint in their eye, and the streets outside ring with the cries of 'compro oro, compro oro' ('I buy gold, I buy gold').
