The chocolate shops are hard to resist. Made
locally, chocolates are sold loose or pre-
packaged. There are chocolate chunks and logs
along with strips that look like spaghetti. Deli-
cious and terrific gifts! Check out the variety at
Fenoglio
, either at their lovely alpine-style
retail outlet at Mitre 252 (corner of Rolando) or
at their factory just outside town at Avenida
Bustillo Km 1.2. The huge selection at the
supermarket-style
Chocolate Casero del
Turista
, Mitre 239 between Rolando and
Villegas, is hard to resist as are the sweets at
Rapa Nui Chocolates
across the street.
Mamushka
at Mitre 216, or
Abuela Goye
at
Villegas 241 are just as tempting.
We never leave without something from
Cerámica Bariloche
, a local factory that pro-
duces colorful ceramic items. Most have the
typical floral pattern that is favored here. The
factory, here since the early 1950s, makes wall
clocks, vases, serving platters and candlesticks.
The main shop at Mitre 112 is open from 9:30
am to 9:30 pm every day but Sunday. They have
another shop at Anasagasti 1515.
Cerámica
Bariloche just
celebrated its
50th anniver-
sary.
Tito Testone
at Quaglia 227 is another of our
favorite shops. Featured here are beautiful cop-
per and bronze pieces designed and
handshaped by the shop's owner and name-
sake.
