Shopping
The malecã³n mah-lay-cone, or "beach walk" in the old port part of town is alive with shops that sell everything from tourist souvenirs to fine art. while in puerto peã±asco, most visitors stay in one of the hundreds of privately owned condos that offer fully stocked kitchens. for this reason, the fish market at the malecã³n is a popular stop for the fresh catch of the day, especially during the shrimp season, september to march. there are also many good restaurants to be found along the malecã³n, some of which provide stunning sunset views of the sea of cortã©z.
The Cholla Mall
Has many shops with pottery, jewelry, clothing, and a variety of knick knacks. two large pottery shops, across the street from each other, have a massive selection of artwork, rough pottery, and talavera-style pottery. planters of every size and shape, plates, platters, and bowls, candle holders and water coolers - you can find pretty much everything in these stores. while you can buy cigars at a few of the shops, they tend to be older and/or more stale than the shops on the malecon.
