The mercado has lots of crafts, as do the small shops on Calle Loreto. There are lots of galleries all throughout the Centro. The Aurora Design Center used to be a textile factory, powered by the water coming down the canyon from the charco. Now it holds lots of small galleries of paintings, jewelry, furnishings, clothes, restaurants — easily walkable from the houses. When you go in, one of the first shops on the left, Arte Textil, has lovely Mexican textiles, including weavings from my friend Nelly (the mother of Anja, who designed Casita Laurita). Then there are boutiques. One of my favorites is Mixta, which is where my family stayed when I was a child and it was a boarding house. Now it has a tempting, eclectic mix of artisanal clothes, jewelry and textiles from around the world. Across the street is Tallulah de la Lune, where Maggie designs fabulous boots and clothing. Then on Zacateros, there are wonderful shops, including Abrazos, which has great Mexican fabrics in all manner of configuration (shirts, napkins, aprons, etc.). There are lots of great little shops all the way down Zacateros, including a bird-themed shop called Silvestre. You can take that street down to the bigger Ancho San Antonio and see the Institute de Arte. https://www.casasartisticas.com/sma-casas-artisticas/outdoors-efpxs monthly 0.5 2025-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6036e992e1793824e9fe4f76/3694549c-a740-42c6-ae4d-2c5000c5fcb0/Screen+Shot+2021-02-25+at+4.46.35+PM.png San Miguel de Allende Casas Artísticas - Going out Garambullo Fonda Gourmet is on Animas #46, just on the other side of the mercado.
