From stalls to malls, from haute couture to swimsuits and sarongs, sun glasses to wine goblets, arts and crafts and even a Cuban cigar or two, Puerto Vallarta and the entire Bay of Banderas is a shopping lovers, bargain hunters, shop till you drop kaleidoscope of colors, textures and taste.

Every town around the Bay has an authentic market full of local treasures, great music and incredible edibles. Mexico is a land of artisans who turn silver into magic, beads into sculpture, agave into tequila and simple strings into hammocks that could be hung as art instead of between two palm trees.
