 mi sol de Argentina by Trekki
The best place to buy good artesanal quality is the handicraft market (feria artesanal) on Plaza Independencia.
You can't miss it, there are little shops lining the whole plaza.
The market is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Leather ware for example is quite reasonable, either belts, bags, wallets.
Any kind of artesanal jewelery.
Mirrors, baskets, etc - you name it.
The pic shows a pendant, the sun "cut" out of a 1 Peso coin. I was always looking for a pendant with sun - and this one was just perfect.
Price was 15 Pesos (in jan05)

 The Shopping Mall Ceiling by Bwana_Brown
There are shops of all descriptions lining the walls beneath the beautifully glassed-in roof of the rotunda. With the typical hot summers experienced by Mendoza (which was a surprise to me with it being so close to the Andes) it makes sense to take cover when shopping! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Pedestrians Only - Paseo
Sarmiento by Bwana_Brown
Now that we were at the end of our trip, we finally did some looking for a few trinkets to take home with us. Among the the things we bought were two pots for drinking the local's favourite - 'mate', as well as a small bag of the actual tea itself. I also had to have a T-shirt to commemorate the occassion of our fantastic trip to Argentina! Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

Even the icy winds that blow up at Puente del Inca aren't enough to keep the hardy souls who set up shop there from making the most of the opportunity to sell to the toursts who come to see the natural arch and the old hotel. Some sell items that have been left in the suphuric water long enough to be turned to golden stone - everything from pottery bowls to Madonnas. Others sell the usual variety of handicrafts - knitwear, leather bags and belts, weavings, pottery, stone carvings, etc. If you want to escape from the cold , venture into the shop where you'll find a terrific range of Argentinian foodie items - jams and sauces, oils, preserves, olives, chocolates and more. Not into food? How about a gaucho hat - they're so stylish. The shop is jammed with stuff, some the usual souveniry items but lots that is good quality - definitely worth a browse Leave a Comment Theme: Gifts

Very nice wine shop with knowledgeable and friendly owners. Alberto offered to open a bottle of good organic wine for me, under no obligation for me to buy if I didn't like it. I had already spotted another wine that I wanted to stock up on so I placed my order and he'll deliver the case to my hostel tomorrow.
They sell other wine-related paraphernalia. Vinos y delicias de Mendoza, regional products, gifts, etc.
good wine at comparatively affordable prices
all price ranges, everything I saw seemed reasonable Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Saavedra 211 Esq. Alberdi,San José Gllén,MendozaPhone: (0261)431 2788

 Ceramic tiles of Plaza
Espana by swesn
What makes it more special is the weekend handicraft market here at Plaza Espana. There are a few other handicraft markets in Plaza Independencia and other places, but personally, the one at Plaza Espana is the most diverse and interesting.
Bottles of preserves, wooden craft like furniture, kitchenwares, hand-crafted jewellery, knitwear, etc... Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft
