Puebla - Antigua Parian

Originally set up in the 18th century in order to entice back the tradesmen of Zócalo who had fled, it is now devoted to arts and crafts in little shops (c. 6 Nte between Av. 2 and 6 Ote). Especially worth-while purchases include examples of onyx. In the adjoining "Barrio del Artista" artists can be seen at work.
