Shops and more shops, the vast majority show casing crafts and creations of New Mexican and Mexican artists. You could build an entire wardrobe and decorate a mansion from along these streets. We just window shopped…except at the candy store where we had to try the pinon nut penuche and a dark chocolate dipped orange slice.
The streets and square bustle with activity. There is a wedding setup in the square and another party taking pictures. Yet another is loudly taking laps around the plaza in their limo. A parade of restored ‘50s cars passes by. Passers by stop to admire and haggle at blankets loaded with silver and turquoise jewelry that line the sidewalks. Guitar, flute, and drum music floats to the streets from tiny alley-side courtyards.
