Casa Don Taurino is located in a beautiful Oaxaca-style-architecture building, infront of the Sangre de Cristo Church. If you search for the place in google Maps don't get discouraged by the picture you'll find there since the owners made an awesome job refurbishing the building. Inside you will find exquisite textiles, dyed with natural colors, fine-designed ceramics and the most colorful blown glass of all Mexico. It's worth the visit since they make a fine selection of everything they offer, along with the owners warmth.
