Fodor's Expert Review Galería Las Mercedes

Rooms surrounding the central, plant-filled patio of this old colonial house are filled with handicrafts from the region and beyond. Browse for rough-hewn wooden bowls; table runners made on back-strap looms, from cotton dyed with colors of animal and vegetable origin; pottery and shawls from various Michoacán towns; and scary wooden masks, among other quality items. Look for it in a row of shops just to the right side of La Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Salud. It's open daily.
