Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Family Shops

THE FAMILY SHOPS
Shopping away from the mall

[click the photos to enlarge]


In contrast to the mall, the family run shops were far more interesting.

Here an explosion of color greets the eye.
The tiny shop on the left is where I bought my straw hat.
The proprietor drove a hard bargain as he talked himself down 30% on the price because I was his "First Costumer" of the day.


Through the opening in the background is a Flea Market. A whole world of tiny intertwined shops under one roof, covering nearly a whole city block, waiting to be explored.
Some had dirt floors and tin roof while others were in old run down buildings.


Bold colors and designs were everywhere.












Some of the shops on the exterior of the flea market.




Traffic here is amazing. It looks to be chaos, stop signs are ignored, lane changes are random, yet it flows smoothly.
Crossing a street however can be a challenge.
