Stopping for a bite to eat or a bit of shopping can be memorable experiences. Favorite dishes include cochinito horneado (smoked pork), tamales, delicious white cheese, and pejelagarto, a fish that makes up for its unattractive appearance with a sweet flavor. You can also spend time combing open-air markets for hats, leather goods, and embroidered cloth, not to mention beautifully crafted jewelry featuring local amber.
