4. Market Square (El Mercado)

DOWNTOWN.   San Antonio's venerable El Mercado, once home to a bustling produce market, now houses colorful street vendors, roaming mariachis, and food stalls that serve up the real deal. Just-picked fruits and veggies are still available at the farmer's market across the street, but the Square's focus these days is on preserving the city's Mexican heritage and spirit. Leather and papier-mâché goods, blankets, and pottery are just a sample of the specialties. Don't miss the delectable pan dulce at open-24-hours Mi Tierra Bakery.   (© 10Best)

As one of my friends put it, "Shopping here is like going south of the border without a passport." You can find just about anything here from trinkets to clothes. There are two parts to the market for shopping: on across the way from Mi Tierra, and the other across the street. Park under the bridge because it looks like there was $2 parking. Skip the mall for your trinkets and souvenirs and get them here, I can promise you'll pay less and have a better selection.
