Los Cabos - Shopping

While shopping in Cabo, you will discover something that you cannot live without; some treasure that will make you feel good, or is the perfect gift for a loved one back home. ..

Los Cabos is the quintessential shopping mecca. While one tends to seek out the jewelry and pottery stores, the other may prefer to explore the galleries, home furnishing stores and other various artsy boutiques. Whatever the interest, there is a place here for you.

In the village of Cabo San Lucas, life radiates from the plazas. The way to travel is by foot as everything is close at hand. For those who love to shop, the main streets and alleys of Cabo overflow with fun and fanciful boutiques brimming with souvenirs, arts and crafts, jewelry, pottery, beachwear and clothing. The street vendors bring their own version of creative marketing to the village. Featuring a wide range of merchandise, downtown Cabo San Lucas is a great place to discover local artisans, along with everything from traditional Mexican artifacts to American made products. |

The Puerto Paraiso Mall, caters to shoppers with more ex-pensive and sophisticated taste. Unique silver jewelry and pottery made from local artists are popular items for tourists to take home. 

Located by the harbor, Boulevard Marina is a magnificent area to browse. Shoppers can spend hours gazing through shop windows or meandering in and out of interesting locales until they find themselves compelled to purchase "must-have" items. There are so many wonderful home furnishings, Mexican art pieces and other decorative merchandise to bring home for yourself or a friend. 

Cabo San Lucas, like everywhere else in Los Cabos, is brimming with street vendors and silver shops offering their own creative and original designs. Most of the stores carry silver of excellent quality, however, it is wise to be cautious, as some vendors and artisan markets often carry silver of an inferior caliber. 

México is also well known for its meticulously hand-crafted pottery. Talavera, the most well known type of pottery in Cabo, was first made in the town of Puebla. Talavera pottery has its own distinctly creative style, but also reflects the Spanish, Arabic, Asian and Italian cultures. It is easy to tell the high quality Talavera pottery by its intrinsic detail and generally higher price. 

Necri, located on Boulevard Marina has a good selection of unique gift items-many pieces are easy to pack, for that favorite friend back home. Necri has a very nice collection of exclusive pewter pieces from México City ranging from picture frames to candle sticks as well as a large inventory of fine Talavera from Puebla. 

With plenty of varieties to choose from , you need only to embrace the fact that shopping is a fun part of your vacation, since Cabo is the place for shameless purchases. Spending an afternoon in downtown Cabo is sure to have you walking home with your arms full of new goodies to remind you of your trip. Whether your purchases include something fun, practical, or extravagant, the experience will be inspiring, and you will want to go back for more!
