Description:

Immerse yourself in Mexico's artistic communities as you explore the goods produced by local artisans in the village of Tlaquepaque. Then continue to Tonalá, where pottery and handicrafts are on offer at the town's bustling markets.

After being picked up from your hotel, make your way to the village-like suburb of Tlaquepaque. This folksy, enchanting locale is filled with artists and craftspeople peddling their wares on pedestrian-only streets and in charming plazas. Keep your eyes peeled for pottery and blown glass—2 of the region’s most well-known products—and watch artisans at work inside of colonial mansions repurposed into workshops and studios.

In vibrant and industrious Tonalá, practice your bargaining skills at the exuberant crafts market. A center for pottery making since pre-Hispanic times, this is the place for deals on charming ceramics, wood carvings, furniture, and decorative arts. Take a break from the clamor of the market to enjoy lunch; then dive back into the colorful stands to scope out hand-blown margarita glasses, Day of the Dead skeletons, and brightly stitched blankets to take home as souvenirs.
