Mercado Papagyo (Papagyo Craft Market), Acapulco

Papagyo Craft Market offers a reasonably long window for browsing and shopping. While it leans toward more tourist-oriented offerings, you’ll find a mix of goods: printed T-shirts, beachwear, accessories, toys, and jewelry made from shells or local materials. For those seeking more traditional crafts, there are stalls with pottery, textiles, and wood carved items, giving it a more local artisan feel in spots.

Just be aware: some visitors report that certain items feel overpriced or of lower durability — take your time, compare across stalls, and don’t hesitate to politely haggle.
