Artesanaria Santa Lucia




On the corner of Calle 60 and Calle 55 there is a new shop that has many of the best crafts from Mexico and the Yucatan. They have a small selection of things that you can also find in the Grupo Plan stores around the Yucatan and in the Montejo House on the main square. They also have some things you'd find at the Fonart store at San Angel Hotel on the remate de Montejo. They have a nice selection of the lamps that are designed by Marieke Baumgarten for Manos Mayas. I have found many nice gifts for the home and jewelry there in the past couple of months.

It's 1/2 a block from the Cafe Ki'Xocolatl which has desserts and coffee but the emphasis is on the Chocolates made by master chocolatiers Stéphanie Verbrugge and Mathieu Brees from Belguim. They also have some nice gifts.

Yeesssssss! This place is nice with a boutique feel. Their selection is great. When I went they didnt take credit cards....that was probably a blessing.
