Mexico Tourist destination close to USA worth visiting.
MEXICAN ARTS AND CRAFTS GALORE ON CALLE PRIMERA
travelgourmet Says: The tourist zone near the port to some happy campers are the bars that pour the beer, to others, the shopping bargain area and then there are the arts and crafts shops. Where are they located? Why, on the Paseo Calle Primera. This stretch of all things good, bad, and ugly...
