three of 'em: Womens clothes shops in La Paz
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.

    El Recoveco Mexican Curios: Products from the reaches of Mexico
    This little shop hides on a quiet street just a block and half from the malecon. While the location is excellent the shop itself appears to be occupying a small garage. I was impressed with the friendliness of the proprieter Daniela Eunice Munoz Lopez (I assume). She was full of laugh and joy with a good head of knowledge about Mexico and it's distinctive states.

    I walked out with two decorative plates with scenes from Pascuado and Jinitio Island in the state of Michoacan. In addition I purchased three butterfly wall hangings. Some of the items for sale can be found elsewhere. Her prices are about the going rate and I saved some money when I compared the same item in Cabo San Lucas.

    I do want to give her some publicity as I was overjoyed to find such a hidden gem, located on a quiet side street, inside a garage with a charming proprieter to serve me. She wrote down my total - $45.

    From $3 on up.

    Several scattered around downtown: Mercados
    Stalls of t-shirts, boots, shoes, fish, meats, candies, and most everything else you can think of. Some good and some not, I far prefer looking so I can't speak to cost or value.

    Actually, my favorite items are always food. The little stands in the mercados are where I most love. A little facility in Spanish helps but is not required. Waving your hands and pointing will do in a pinch.

    cheap cheap cheap. A dollar or two will fill you up for the day.
