Puerto Rico Shopping
|
|
One of the best shopping areas
in Puerto Rico is the streets of Old Town. Here you are sure
to find native handcrafted goods such as, needlework, straw
work, ceramics, paintings and sculptures by Puerto Rican artists.
Most people visiting Puerto Rico buy carved wooden religious
idols known as santos (saints). These have been called Puerto
Rico's greatest contribution to the plastic arts and are sought
by collectors. For the best selection of santos, head for |
Galeria Botello, Ole, or Puerto Rican Arts & Crafts. Malls in
San Juan are generally open Monday through Saturday from 9am to 9pm,
Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Regular stores in town are usually open Monday
through Saturday from 9am to 6pm. In Old San Juan many stores are
open on Sunday, too. Plaza Las Américas is Puerto Rico's biggest
and most up-to-date shopping mall. Plaza Las Américas has more
than 200 mostly upscale shops. Shop until you drop in Puerto Rico,
there are so many great and wonderful things to purchase and take
back home!
