A large , Dominican gift type shop. This large mall type building is located in the center of town, the closest thing to a down town Santo Domingo has. It is a very colorful area where one can but almost anything you desire and most of the time you do not even need to enter a building to do it. Inside the Mercado there are vendors selling all types of Dominican and Non-Dominican Souvenirs and goods.  It is complete chaos and an experience that all should have when visiting the country. The colors, the people, the foods, the non-stop pace here is a for sure good time.

Here is sold: lotions and perfumes, amulets, prayers, stamps, and pictures of saints, birds, oils, all souvenirs , paintings, food, cigars, just about anything you could want. Make sure you barter a little bit.
