THIS is the place that started a tradition…read more The Sacristia Art and History really did start it all for me. I absolutely fell in love with the beautiful handmade pottery found here. Ever since my visit, I seek out a piece of local pottery as a souvenir of my travels abroad. During my day visit we stopped in to The Sacristia Art and History to browse the beautiful handmade pottery. Everything was gorgeous and intricately detailed. I left with an absolutely gorgeous sugar dish that I cherish to this day. The shop is located in the heart of San José del Cabo in the Plaza Mijares across from the gorgeous ornate gazebo. There's plenty to see nearby! The Sacristia Art and History is next to the Parroquia San José (the Catholic Church). There's also a variety of restaurants and other shops nearby. You'd be a fool to not stop in and check out the gorgeous pottery at The Sacristia Art and History if you find yourself in San José del Cabo. **Pro Tip: If you fall in love with something, but are worried about transporting it back yourself - they will ship it back for you! Yay!

Very disappointed! Unfortunately they were extremely unfriendly and unwelcoming…read more I wanted to browse and was considering purchasing an art piece. Instead of being at least "fake" friendly by making small talk as they kept watch. Both store clerks followed us from each room (practically glaring at us) and handed off the duty to each other so that we were constantly watched by at least one of them. I thought it was strange but when we went into another room and found another customer taking pictures and touching art pieces "un-surveilled@ by the clerks I became angry. I left. Don't bother to visit.

And that's fine, if you have room in your suitcase for more junk, and don't mind a fire hazard. I'm pickier, having learned a useful lesson from my dear, departed Mema: "If it's coming into this house, it had better be worth dusting." I sometimes pass through Cabo San Lucas, and I'm a fan of Mexican craftwork, especially the wood carvings called "albrejes" and Barro Negro (black) pottery from the state of Oaxaca, so I always enjoy stopping at Casa Maria, a hole-in-the-wall shop near the Marina. Browse thoughtfully through this gallery; a visit to Casa Maria saves several trips to small towns in the Mexican interior. Owner Zenon Martinez and his kind and knowledgeable sales staff are gentle guides through the well-organized shop, answering questions about the history and provenance of individual pieces. Casa Maria is packed, floor to ceiling, with art and artifacts that surprise the eye, including a range of Oaxacan crafts; woolen wall hangings created by Zapotec weavers; Guanajuatense punched-tin mirrors; impossibly delicate pre-Colombian style bark paper art; and the always fascinating and entertaining calacas - decorative skeleton dolls used in the celebration of the Dia de los Muertos. No room in your suitcase? Sr. Martinez, an honest and reliable man, will arrange packing and shipping to your home in the States. And finally, when you've assembled a group of purchases, remember that the staff is flexible on price, as is to be expected in a Mexican tourist town. I prefer the opening gambit, "Ay, Señor ... I wish I could afford to pay that much."
