Description:
Campeche has fine small artisan shops, some larger tourist-oriented craft stores and countless souvenir stands. La Casa de las Artesanias Tukulna offers the broadest selection of traditional craft items in Campeche. The colonial house Tukulna occupies is worth a visit on its own. The clothing store Wilma displays some of the finest linen and other natural fiber clothing for women and men. You can also choose from a wide variety of fabrics and Wilma's seamstresses will whip up an original. Given Campeche's distinguished maritime history it is no surprise that fine ship's models are produced here: Artesania Tipica Naval is a family operation dating back to 1965. Campechanos have been trading goods in public markets here for 1,500 years. The public market on Circuito Baluartes is fun to visit and a place to bargain for souvenirs.
