TOP THINGS TO BUY IN SANTA MARÍA DEL RÍO
The tradition of weaving rebozos (shawls) has been passed down from generation to generation. The Otomi implemented the "ikat" technique, which consists of tying and grouping the threads, in addition to the waist loom technique with a wide variety of strokes, sizes, and drawings.
Here natural silk shawls are made in family workshops with a unique variety and color. A piece can take more than three weeks of work, since they are fine threads that are woven with great care.
Without a doubt, the rebozos are the best souvenirs you can buy. You can also visit some of the workshops so you can learn more about the production process and you can choose between the traditional ball, five, half two, caramel, shell or arrow designs, among others.
Shopping in Santa María del Río
Additionally, you can buy the famous marquetry works where woods from the region (mulberry, fig, palo escrito or cedar) are combined to form beautiful figures, combining woods of different colors and achieving beautiful motifs. One of these boxes will always be a nice memory and will beautify any place in your home.
Other products that you can buy are beautiful basketry work, embroidered garments and regional items such as cabuches that are the canned biznaga flower, as well as worm salt and mezcal.
A good option to buy a rebozo and in general all the handicrafts and regional products is the Casa del Rebozo which is located on Pascual M. Hérnández street.
