The most atmospheric craft market in San Diego! Los Dominicos Craft Centre 🎨🇨🇱
#2月好地方2025
If you come to Santiago, Chile and want to buy some authentic local handicrafts, then you must come to Los Dominicos Craft Centre! This place is not as commercialized as the general tourist market, but a handicraft village full of traditional atmosphere. Each cottage is an independent workshop, and the items sold are all handmade and very textured✨.
Are there any must-visit specialty stores here? 👇
💎 Lapis Lazuli Jewelry: Chile’s national treasure-level gemstone. There are many handmade silver jewelry shops here where you can buy super beautiful blue Lapis Lazuli pendants and rings. They are worth giving as gifts or for personal use! 💙✨
🎨 Pottery & Woodcarving Art: The pottery here is all made by local artists. It is colorful and has a strong South American style. There are also some delicate hand-made wood carvings, which are really worth collecting🎭.
👜 Alpaca scarves & leather products: Many stalls sell Chilean alpaca scarves and shawls, which are soft and warm. Some shops specialize in handmade leather bags and belts with great texture!
After shopping, you can go to the small cafe in the market, order a cup of Chilean hot chocolate or yerba mate tea, and enjoy this leisurely craft village while drinking. Compared to big shopping malls, the things here are warmer, and each piece seems to carry a story of the craftsman. If you come to San Diego, you must come here for a walk. I guarantee you will have a happy shopping and a satisfying shopping 🎁💕!
