Tip
Visitors to Mendoza enjoy discounts at
many mall shops when they obtain a
V.I.P card at the reception area.
There is also a lovely shopping arcade in town.
Galerías Piazza
is located on Avenida San
Martín between the Paseo Sarmiento and
Rivadavia, next door to the Diario Los Andes
building. The main shopping streets are Paseo
Sarmiento, Avenidas Mitre, Las Heras and San
Martín.
If you prefer less conventional shopping, the
city's
hippie fair
is held every weekend in the
Plaza Independencia, from 11 am to 9 pm on
Saturdays and 4 to 9 pm on Sundays. You'll find
the usual leather goods, jewelry, art, copper
and brass pieces and other “hippie fare.”
The fair starts
on a small scale
on Friday.

hats, art and wall hangings.
