San Miguel de Allende is a paradise for lovers of crafts and Mexican folk art. Its markets, galleries, and workshops offer unique pieces.
The Artisan Market is the first mandatory stop. Here you'll find tin hearts, alebrijes, Otomí textiles, silver jewelry, and Oaxacan black clay objects.
For higher-quality pieces, downtown shops offer curated crafts: backstrap loom textiles, Talavera ceramics, polychrome wood masks, and Huichol beadwork art.
In many of these workshops, you can watch the creation process of each piece and, in some cases, join sessions where ancestral techniques of weaving, pottery, or jewelry-making are shared.
