The eyes of avid bargain-hunting tourists glitter when they see Ensenada's broad shopping avenues. The shops are literally bursting with a massive array of Mexican arts and crafts from elegant Taxcosilver jewellery in the boutiques of the Avenida Lopez Mateos to a selection of 'below $5' curios in the stores along First Street. Best buys to look out for in Ensenada are leather goods (bags, purses, jackets, belts etc.), hand-blown glassware, woodcarvings, and ceramics. Those who enjoy local colour can browse through the bustling Los Globos flea market where occasional treasures can be found. Due to its popularity as a cruise port, Ensenada offers great shopping opportunities, but it can be very expensive.
