Hand spun cloth in Antigua Guatemala
Shopping in Antigua is wonderful - there are many local handicrafts available and the goods are well made and cheap. There are several markets in the city where women gather during the day to lay out their wares.
What to buy: Hand or machine spun cloth, embroidered purses, pottery, and just about anything else you can imagine.
What to pay: Bargaining is essential if you want to get a good price. Aim to pay about 30-50% lower than what the asking price is, and you can figure you're getting a decent deal.
Directions: There is a great market near the bus station in Antigua, and many others spread throughout the city. You can't walk far without seeing one!
