A block-sized indoor market all your hokey beach souvenir needs. You can find better and cheaper crafts anywhere else in Mexico without a cruise port, but if this is your only stop, it'll check your boxes.

Galeria Indigena
A shop specializing in Huichol art as well as art from other indigenous peoples. You'll see bead art everywhere, but this is one of a few shops that sell something at least a little more authentic than colorful beaded lizards and such.

Oxxo
Best place to buy beer or snacks, save Walmart (hassle, bus ride). They are all over the city & will save you tons of money. Most have cash machines. A great place to make small change for the bus.
Most open 24 hours

Walmart
Cheapest place to buy most groceries. Huge produce department. Good variety of Mexican & some US products. Good place to buy smokes or liquor before flying home. Can be inconvenient to bring back groceries via local bus.
