In Merida and Yucatan, shopping is a well established tradition. In the "White City", you will find lots of modern luxurious malls such as Plaza Las Americas and La Gran Plaza, which both have great sales, the latest fashions and food courts. Come and discover the most popular Merida and Yucatan shops.
The most charming Merida and Yucatan shops are the small ones, which have lovely locally designed clothes, handcrafts, jewelry, leather shoes, candies and much more. Located in downtown, the majority of these shops are owner operated.
Clothes in Merida, made of 100% natural cotton, are part of the cultural heritage. Women still proudly wear huipiles, a dress used for every day wear, as well as for parties and special events, when they are covered with spectacular jewels. Don't miss the opportunity of buying one for yourself or a relative as a souvenir while on your trip to Merida. Huipiles are a part of Mexico's history, their flower embroidery shining full of color on top of an impeccable white fabric. For men there are guayaberas, which are fresh shirts with discrete designs that gentlemen wear for special events. For children there are also unique pieces designed with that special "Yucatecan" style and make excellent souvenirs as well.
Hammocks are part of the style of living in the Yucatan Peninsula. Imagine yourself at home gently swinging in a beautiful hand woven hammock that will remind you of your wonderful vacation in Merida. Not to be missed are the multi-colored and lively markets of Lucas De Galvez, Mercado de Santa Ana and El Bazar Garcia Rejon, where you can find all kinds of handcrafts and local dishes.
