Guaymas is not a shopping destination, but a few places are worth knowing about. Perlas del Mar de Cortez sells pearls, gold, and silver direct from the source at good prices. The Mercado (common market) stocks piñatas, handmade wooden toys, and sugar candies. Plaza Ley El Vigia in the downtown area has a cluster of clothing and jewellery shops. In San Carlos, Kiamy's specialises in Mexican handicrafts and handcarved palo fierro (ironwood) figures — a local art form.
