With windows overlooking Plaza Cagancha, quiet second-floor CCMA is an enticing spot for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat while in central Montevideo. Part cafe, part gift store, part gallery, dance floor cum artist space, CCMA wears many hats. Ask the staff about the week's events and you just might find yourself attending a jazz concert or dance performance the same night. The cultural center also hosts tango classes on Monday and Wednesday nights. Dinner shows take place in the café area. Often there's no entry fee but you're expected to order something. Sit down, sip a copa (glass of wine) and enjoy the work of local musicians.

Traveler Reviews of Centro Cultural del Mercado de los Artesanos

Mercado de los Artesanos Montevideo

In these times of globalized junk, the artistic flair and the quality of products & materials and the price for these artifacts, somewhere else called works of art, are indeed unique! The people - just about like all Uruguayans - are delightful.
