BEST SHOP WE FOUND. This is not you normal china made junk stuff. They have loads of handmade artesian goods including artwork, ceramics, tin & copper made goods, clothing and pottery. All were cutely laid-out in the shop. You won't find these items in other souvenir shops. Very Unique. LOVED THIS VERY CUTE SHOP! BOTTOM LINE: Our favorite souvenir artesian shop in Colonia del Sacramento. What a breathe of fresh air after browsing normal souvenir stores. These items found here are the real deal. Pricing was a little higher but the value for one-of-a-kind products were well worth it I thought. Most things we saw, we did not see anywhere else. BOTTOM LINE: 10/10
