Shopping and Traveling in Ensenada ??? What are the good details? If you traveled to Ensenada Mexico where ?

Question

Hey people- In a few weeks I'll be heading a simple 4 day cruise to Baja California and docking in Ensenada. While my friend and I plan to see La Bufadora, I LOVE to shop and have heard that Ensenada is filled with artisans, craftsman, shops and booths with great deals.While I am interested in artwork, I would be particularly interested in purses, jewelry and accessories sold down there.

What are the price ranges ?

What / which are the stores ?

Do they accept american money? Can you bargain ? What are some "steals" that you got ? Tips for bringing it back ?

Please let me know how it is down there! tHANKS and peace to answer

Answer 2

What you have heard is correct.

We sailed from Aca to San Carlos Sonora (8weeks)

I found that leather goods are a real bargain.  Everything from boots to belts, you name it they have it.

Pottery is very colourful but fragile.

Blankets and towels ,also muy barata.

Starlet was her name 47ft Catalina.  Lost in a storm aff the east coast of Honduras two years ago.

Bon Voyage

P.S there is a Marina at a hotel that I cant recall the gps coordinates.to dock at.  I will see if I can locate it for you.
