Bargaining can be a blast - as long as you know what you're doing. And a frosty midday margarita seems to be an instant cure for tired feet. Here's what keeps bringing the bargain hunters back. Jackets, boots, briefcases, belts, handbags, wallets and virtually all other quality leather items run about half of stateside prices. Designer leather rip-offs offer outrageous savings as well.
Home furnishings are excellent deals, as are fine arts and crafts .
There you'll find an overwhelming eight-block strip of stores, stalls, arcades and underground passageways filled with bargains from all around the globe. All of Rosarito's excellent shopping locations can be found along Boulevard Benito Juarez, the laid-back beach resort's main street. Shops at the north, center and south areas of town are walkable in clusters, and free street parking is easy to find everywhere. The Rosarito Beach Hotel's shopping arcade, located at the south end of town, has numerous high-quality shops and art galleries. The city's large mercado, with almost 100 stalls, is just a short stroll up the main street, beginning next to the El Nido restaurant.
