OK, it's weird that I'm writing this tip but Whitney adored a few the women's shops in La Paz and I had a great conversation, in my extremely limited Spanish with one of the shopkeepers, so here goes. The shopping area starts on the malecon road (Paseo Obregon) and continues a few blocks in from the sea. A good landmark to start your shopping experience is La Perla Hotel.
1. Nichos - on Calle Augustin Arreola, near the corner of Paseo Obregon (the seaside road).
2. ??? - right across the street from Nichos, between xxx and xxx. For whatever reason the name of the shop is nowhere on the outside or inside of the store! It was here that I had a great (if basic) conversation in my broken, pathetic Spanish which I hadn't polished off for 17 years, with the friendly and patient shopkeeper.
3. Nirvana, right across from the "Everything 1 Price" store (I always wondered if Mexico had $1 stores - they do, and everything is for 11 pesos! I highly recommend the gigantic, lifetime supply bottle of Salsa Huichol.) Whitney really went nuts in this place - there are some "really cute blouses," or at least that's what she said. I didn't write down the exact address, but it's about 3 blocks behind La Perla Hotel, near the corner of Madero and Augustin Arreola.
You can get some great deals in La Paz, and some you will pay "boutique prices" for. Leave a Comment
