Most of the tourist shops hold court along Avenida López Mateos beside the hotels and restaurants. There are several two-story shopping arcades, some with empty spaces for rent. Dozens of curio shops line the street, all selling similar selections of pottery, serapes, and the tackier trinkets and T-shirts.
Bazar Casa Ramirez sells high-quality Talavera pottery and other ceramics, paintings by local artists, jewelry from Taxco, wooden carvings, and papier-mâché figurines. Everything here is made in Mexico. Be sure to check out the displays upstairs.
This indie boutique specializing in streetwear is the place to go for “cool souvenirs made in Mexico,” as owner Juliett puts it. You’ll find hats, shirts, jewelry, and vinyl records, plus apothecary products. The shop doubles as a café, meaning you can power up, shop, and hit Ensenada full steam ahead.
