    The shop has two floors - on the first one you can buy fruits and vegtables - the second one is in fact a galery of local art products.
    But no specials things - mostly wooden handy craft from Ecuador and hammocks, even wall carpets showing the beautiful Andes mountains, but in Ecuador.

    gold vendors in eldorado
    by cachaseiro
    in southern venezuela there are shops all over the place buying and selling gold.
    they mostly buy from goldminers and then sell it to retailers, but it's fun wathcing the whole process.
    it's a very wild west athmosphere where the goldminers usually head for the nearest bar as soon as they get their money.

    Here you can buy just about any part of the animal you want. Vendors were also selling all kinds of fresh fish. There were no insects on the meat.

    CARACAS: ENGLISH BOOKSTORES

  • THE AMERICAN BOOK SHOP has moved to Centro Comercial Centro Plaza which is a shopping mall located in Los Palos Grandes neighbourhood. It has quite a selection of English books. I was looking for Latin American literature in English, but they only have a few books from Mario Vargas Llosa and no one else (from South America, I mean). And they were very expensive. Meanwhile, the classics are at half-price.

    Directions: Get off at Altamira metro station and walk east along Avenida Francisco de Miranda. It is located in the basement. Here's the address:

    The American Book Shop
    Centro Comercial Centro Plaza
    Nivel Jardin, al lado de Restaurante Margana
    Los Palos Grandes
    Tel: 286-2230/ 285-8779
    Hours: 9 - 6 Monday to Saturday

    TECNICIENCIAS
    Based on the name, this huge bookstore seems to cater to books of science and technology, but there is a section of English books of popular fictions like John Grisham, Danielle Steel and some classics. There are several branches. One is in Centro Sambil. The others are:

    CCCT
    C.Ciudad Comercial TAMANACO
    Nivel C-2
    Urb. Chuao
    Tel: 959-5547 / 959-5035

    C.C. Plaza Las America (the new side)
    Nivel Comercio 1
    Boulevard El Cafetal - Urb. El Cafetal

  • The massive Centro Sambil is a huge shopping mall where the beautiful and hip people of Venezuela go shopping at. Here you can find all the stylish shops, banks, internet cafes, etc... The fashion sense here is the complete opposite of that at Sabana Grande.

  • There is a handicraft market with temporary carts on La Plaza de Las Heroinas next to the cable-car station.

    Next to the plaza, there is another covered market with fixed stalls selling jewellery, woollies, wooden crafts, etc...

    Supermarkets: Best bargains

  • Local supermarkets are best value.

    Buy spirits, rum in particular less than £1 per bottle. 200 marlboro cigarettes £8. Sunglasses are another good buy.

    These goods are cheap. Clothes and electrical goods are European prices

    When buying gasoline in Venezuela it is very cheap. Do the math. $1.00 = 2150 Bolivars. At 8732 Bolivars for 90.02 litros, that would be $.045 per litro, or about $.17 per gallon.
