Shopping

Ribeirão Preto has one of the largest shopping mall concentrations in the São Paulo interior — the Ribeirão Shopping and Shopping Iguatemi are the main ones — which reflects the spending power of the local population. For something less generic, the covered Mercado Municipal on Avenida Independência sells fresh produce, dried goods, and artisan products from the region. The morning market on Avenida Presidente Vargas operates on weekends and is a good place to find local cheese, honey, and sugarcane products.
