A curious phenomenon exists in Manzanillo, a
rather pointed disinterest in shopping. The relaxed atmosphere, the
detached location of downtown and the relative isolation of the properties
tend to attract those who come for the sun and sea and prefer to stay
put. Many hotels have their own shops as more of a service than a
source of enjoyment. A proposed marina, shopping center and hotel
in Santiago probably won't change this equation very much. In the
downtown area around the plaza there are a few crafts stores. Local
specialties include shell, coral, bone and turtle shell items and
costume jewelry as well as furniture, baskets, sisal bags silk hammocks
and "angeo" painting. Some of the best crafts shops are:

| The shops at Las Hadas attempt
to match their unique surroundings. Tane is probably the best
known with truly beautiful objects de art, including tableware and jewelry.
