  Pueblito Los Dominicos

The official name of the place is Los Graneros del Alba, but everybody in Santiago knows it as "Pueblito Los Dominicos", because it is located next to Los Dominicos church.
Without any doubt it is the most picturesque handicraft's village in Santiago. It worth the trip even if you don't look for any handicraft. You can just walk around and take a rest from city's noise and speed...

What to buy: You can find there absolutely everything. From typical chilean copper handicraft to jewelery, leather products, paintings, sculptures, house furniture and fine art pieces...
There are also bars, small restaurants and even pet's shops! At all at Los Dominicos you can find over 160 different stalls and shops.

What to pay: It's a little bit more pricey then others handicraft's villages, but also you have here more choice and the average quality is by far better.

Address: Av. Apoquindo 9085, Las Condes
Directions: Take a taxi from a metro-station "Escuela Militar". At Providencia street you can also easly catch a bus going to "Los Dominicos".
