    • Here is the Bazar Del Mundo. Many folks who hate shopping and soulvenirs would hate this place. Picture the husbands sitting on benches while they wait. I rather enjoyed the shops because they are unique to the area. Not entirely authentic with local crafts the way they used to be, but lots of good stuff can still be found here. It is certainly attracting plenty of people, which the Old Town district did not come close to years ago. There are places to eat and outdoor entertainment from time to time...lots of lush gardens everywhere...and I found it all around quite charming. Guess it depends on your point of view.

     I just visited SD recently with my sister. We roamed Coroando again and the Gaslamp Quarters with my great nephew. We had a very nice time. I enjoyed your lovely tips. Thank you!    		LoriPori Mon Sep 14, 2009 18:26 UTC
