Shopping for the Artisan Products of Mexico in Los Cabos

One of the favorite things for which people shop in Los Cabos is handmade Mexican products. From both a quality and a price point of view, there are some exceptional deals. When we built our home on the East Cape, we wanted the style to be Modern Mexican. To us, this meant modern lines but Mexican accents throughout. All of the bathrooms were designed with hand-painted ceramic sinks, toilet paper holders, inset soap holders, towel and toothbrush holders and towel hooks. These brightly painted ceramics give the house its style along with the saltillo tile floors. Add painted clay sconces for iighting, equipale (simple crossed wood and leather) furniture and some carpets and the colors and quality of Mexico come through. The main source at that time (and until today) for the design items was Artesanos on the main highway just outside of Cabo San Lucas. This is also one of the first stops for our guests when they are interested in glasses, plates, coffee mugs, pewter, silver or ceramic serving pieces. Whether furniture, fixtures, ceramics, glassware or artwork, this is great stop for any visitor or resident in Los Cabos to find unique items. In San Jose del Cabo, the Plaza Artesanos on Blvd Mijares is another great source. This is a whole square block of small shops that offers everything from apparel to rugs to ceramic fixtures, all kinds of glassware and artwork from which to choose. Unfortunately, neither of these locations appear to have websites or Facebook pages but there are lots of reviews on Trip Advisor.
