MarieF4861 Posted August 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Last time I was in Old San Juan, a friend took me to a store that sold only merchandise that was made in Puerto Rico. I would love to find that store again, but do not remember the name or location. It had art, Christmas ornaments and miscellaneous hand-made items. Is anyone familiar with it?

CapeGal Posted August 6, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2014 It's actually Puerto Rican Arts and Crafts. I have been shopping there off and on for 20 years. Just last year I fell in love with a certain Saint and I actually contacted them to see if they had her. Not only did they have one, they had about 6 by different santeros. They sent me pictures on line and I was able to pick one. They shipped it to me. She is a perfect addition to my collection. HIGHLY recommend them. You will love that place and not have to go any place else for quality merchandise---including coffees and candies and other edibles! Enjoy! Puerto Rican Arts on Forteleza. I love that shop!

cormike1 Posted August 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 7, 2014 This sounds like a store my husband and I would love to go to. We try and buy local things that we can us for Christmas decorations on our "travel" tree, or a hand-made Christmas ornament will do also. Is this in the old town? Also can we get a taxi from the pier just to take us to the old town and drop us off so we can wander around on our own and not have to do a tour? Thanks so much for everyone's help.

It would definitely have stuff you'll love. It is in Old San Juan, and it should be easy to find a taxi at the pier to take you into OSJ. It's a wonderful city to wander around in and there are some good published walking tours - check Frommer or Fodors. You can likely arrange to meet the taxi driver who drops you off at a specific time to take you back to the pier. However, if you're docked at the Old San Juan pier, you won't need a taxi. Everything is in walking distance. If you're at the Pan Am Pier you will need the taxi. Edited August 8, 2014 by Miss Vickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
