San Angel Folk Art

Description:

• Combing the crafts markets of Mexico might be more fun, but exploring this large store in the Blue Star Arts Complex is a pretty good substitute. Painted animals from Oaxaca, elaborate masks from the state of Guerrero -- this place is chockablock with things colorful, whimsical, and well-made. Of course, prices are better south of the border, but you're saving on airfare/gas and traveling time.
