El Parián Handicrafts Market, 6 Norte, between 2 and 4 Oriente.

The market was established in 1796. Here you will find a wide variety of poblano crafts, including Talavera pottery, textiles, clothing, onyx figures and traditional candy. Handicrafts from other states are also available, as well as jewelry and leather-work.

Next stop on the walking tour: the Plazuela de los Sapos, "Toad Plaza."

Directions: Walk down 6 Norte. After crossing Avenida Juan de Palafox y Mendoza the street becomes 6 Sur. Continue along 6 Sur to 5 Oriente and you are in the Plazuela de los Sapos.
