ARTS AND CRAFTS

Excerpt from Viva Oaxaca: Oaxaca is a paradise for shoppers, especially those who appreciate handicrafts. The shops contain many kinds of work, reflecting the ethnic and artistic diversity of the state. Wonderful things can be found in Oaxaca at the various markets, in stores, at stands in the zócalo, and from individual vendors . . .

Viva Oaxaca tells where to find pottery, cotton and wool weavings, fanciful carved alebrijes, intricately embroidered blouses and dresses, regional huipiles, jewelry and art, not to mention mole and chocolate. It also tells where to get the best prices, plus tips about bargaining.
