The whole town of Raquíra is one big shopping center.
It does not matter, which shop you choose, they all charge you more or less the same.
What to buy: Any kind of potteries, crude or painted.
Wall hangings, mobiles (not the cell phones...) to hang all over your place, ash trays, vases, baskets, little junk things (but still cute), any kind of kitchen stuff, such as mugs, pitchers, cups....
you name it.
What to pay: Not very much - of course, it depends on the things you buy.
Mobiles e.g. are 3-4 USD, mugs e.g. 2 USD, etc.
