Oaxaca is really a crafts paradise. MARO is a beautiful store run by a collective of women artisans, and a great place to shop knowing that all proceeds go back to the artisans.

Mayordomo is the most well-known chocolate shop in Oaxaca. All of Oaxaca is known for its chocolate--both drinking chocolate and cooking chocolate--but Mayordomo is a special place. Incredibly friendly staff, delicious chocolate drinks, a warm experience. This smiling staffer was happy to pose as she poured steaming milk into our chocolate.

Oaxaca has several sprawling markets for such a small town. This one, the 20 de Noviembre mercado, concentrates on food stalls and food products.

Chapulines are deep-fried grasshoppers coated in chili, a local speciality. We were gung-ho before arrival, and a little sickened once we really took a hard look. We never tried them, but were bombarded constantly by women selling bagfuls.
