Market, Tizimín

Not a place to find souvenirs but a real, bustling country town market, with spectacular fruit and produce and household goods.
Maya Chuy, Mérida

This charming shop away from Mérida’s crowded shopping streets is the outlet of a women’s embroidery cooperative. Blouses, mats, and other items are beautifully, individually made.
Mercado 28, Cancún

The town market is the place for old-style shopping – giant stands of huarache sandals and panama hats, and tables full of fresh vegetables and fruit – plus a great food court (see Mercado 28 Restaurants, Cancún).
Mérida Market

One of the world’s greatest markets, a labyrinth of alleys and stalls selling everything imaginable – fish, fruit, a dazzling variety of chilies, rows of huípil dresses, sandals, and hats.
Mexicanísimo, Mérida

Innovative store that sells lightweight clothes for men and women in original, modern designs, using Mexican cottons and other traditional materials.
Mikix Artesanías, Tulum

Tulum is not a shopping mecca, but this little store has a high-quality collection of colorful craftwork from every part of Mexico.
Miró T-Shirts, Cozumel

Miró company’s T-shirts stand out with their distinctive, stylish, bright and very Mexican designs, which justify the slightly higher prices. Their Cozumel store is next to Las Palmeras (see Las Palmeras, Cozumel).
Plaza Caracol, Cancún

One of the biggest and most varied of the Cancún malls, with engaging toy shops, lots of beach-wear, fine jewelry stores and a huge choice of restaurants in an attractive, light-filled building.
Plaza Kukulcán, Cancún

Another giant mall with every kind of shopping, including an especially big choice of cigar, jewelry, souvenir and adults’ and kids’ fashion stores.
Pro Dive, Cozumel

First port of call for self-sufficient divers and sea-explorers on Cozumel, with every possible kind of diving and snorkeling equipment.
