Shopping

Michoacan’s handicrafts are world-renowned. Who can resist taking home a piece of green ceramics from Patamban, a lacquered chest from Uruapan, a copper jug from Santa Clara, or, if you are fond of musical instruments, a guitar from Paracho, that will surprise your friends? All these can be found in Morelia’s House of Handicrafts set in the exconvento de San Francisco.
