Sitting next to the ruins of the Iglesia El Carmen, this
market is one of the lesser-known artisan markets in
Antigua and is much less crowded. It’s a good place to
shop for souvenirs such as textiles, pottery and jade at
a low price, and the blankets here are especially good
value.

Most restaurants will accept cards but many market vendors do not.
