Where's the best place to buy souvenirs in Cancun?

What & where to buy souvenirs for Canadian friends.

The Mercado 28 is a tourist trap, but a fun tourist trap. You can haggle, and you'll find a huge variety of stuff, from cheap trinkets to surprisingly nice silver jewelry. For something a bit more upscale (and less haggling), check out some of the smaller boutiques in the Hotel Zone. They'll have higher quality stuff, but naturally, at higher prices. For your Canadian friends, think tequila, maybe some local artisan crafts (look for things made from wood or textiles), and definitely some strong coffee.

Secundaria Memories?

Yeah, the murals at Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera are still there! My sister taught there for a bit, years ago. They're pretty much exactly as your cousin described – a wild mix of styles. Best time to see them? Probably during the day, when the sun hits them right. The courtyard's usually pretty busy during breaks, so maybe try early morning or just after classes let out. No hidden spots to speak of, it's a pretty open courtyard. But seriously, those murals are a sight. Enjoy the conference!

Wow, thanks for the detailed info! Early morning it is then. My cousin's descriptions were pretty vague, so this is super helpful. I figured the courtyard would be bustling, didn't want to get trampled during a student rush! Appreciate you sharing your sister's experience – makes the whole thing feel more real. Looking forward to seeing those murals, sounds amazing.
