For some trips, the destination is the reward. If you live to shop, you will fall head over splendor of famous Bazaar del Mundo.
Built in Spanish colonial style, the building has a large open central courtyard with vibrant collection of festive shops on all four sides offering bright and colorful but mostly useless merchandise.
The courtyard of the bazaar is full with flowers, foliage, pennants, and umbrellas. Mariachi bands on the courtyard stage fill the air with cheerful Mexican music.

There are 15 (or so) shops in Bazaar del Mundo that have pottery, dinnerware, fabrics, books, confections, and arts and crafts....mostly from Latin American countries. From inside each shop, you can generally access the shop next door without going outside. However, going outside in the rain is not a problem, since the walkways facing the attractive courtyard are covered.

Address: 4133 Taylor St.
Directions: Located at Taylor and Juan streets, just two blocks from the northwest entrance to the park
