Yet another weekend morning, and we realized we had a shopping list worth tackling and a destination we hadn’t been to in almost 2 years<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopping in Tonala<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We were off to Tonala with Little N to tag along. Our shopping list was a bust because the carpenter we wanted to use had his hands full with other projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we still made off with some replacement glasses for our set that someone (cough- toddler- cough) had broken, and finally found an entryway mirror that called our name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little N made off with a new drum (how does that happen every single time?) but for 50 pesos we couldn’t say no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have some tips for you on shopping in Tonala. But first, pictures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting to Tonala from Guadalajara<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tonala is actually a part of the Guadalajara metropolitan area, so it doesn’t feel like you are even leaving the city driving there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get to Tonala from the Centro, take Calz. L\u00e1zaro C\u00e1rdenas<\/strong>\/M\u00e9xico 23 and Carretera Guadalajara – towards Zapotlanejo. Take the exit toward Tonala Centro\/Av. Tonaltecas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have found that if you get to Tonala early in the day, you may be able to find street parking on one of the back streets. Otherwise we recommend a paid parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for Shopping in Tonala<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As in any market, bargaining is acceptable. During the week you will find the stores run by artisans fairly calm. On Saturdays, there is also a tianguis, street market right on the main road, making it more difficult to walk around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonala is know for rustic pine furniture. We had a good experience buying lots of furniture from Azteca Rusticos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t miss out on some of the shops that are on the side streets! Their prices are usually lower than those with storefronts on the main Av. Tonaltecas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also find lots of rustic glasses at a ridiculous discount! Think 1 USD\/cup, verses the $4 dollars or so you would pay at Crate and Barrel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you done some shopping directly from artisans? We highly recommend it and wish we could buy more!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
