Expect a compact market that sells Mexican-style handicrafts alongside Central and South American pieces, so you can find textiles, pottery, leather goods and inexpensive silver jewelry in one place. Bring cash in local currency and small bills because most stalls prefer it, though a few larger kiosks may take cards; bargain politely, starting about 20 to 30 percent lower, and check silver for hallmarks on pricier items. Ask vendors about basic wrapping or shipping for fragile or bulky purchases and get written prices, learn a few Spanish phrases to speed negotiations, and keep your valuables close in crowded areas.
