The craft market runs along San Martin behind the railroad tracks. It’s a fun, lively atmosphere and a pretty part of town. Local vendors sell handmade goods, from woolen to wooden, and there are plenty of the typical souvenirs to go around as well. Most handicrafts are high quality at good prices. Ask around at the stands selling pottery; some studios invite visitors to watch them create these masterpieces.
