We know why you want to visit San Diego. When a place is nicknamed ‘America’s Finest City,’ you absolutely, positively must verify whether that claim is true. Chances are when you get there, you’ll arrive at the same conclusion most do upon first visiting this great city; Yes, it is as fine as they say it is! When it comes to pleasing visuals, San Diego has no shortage of them. If it isn’t the gorgeous 70-mile expanse of coastline that runs through quaint, rustic beach towns like beautiful La Jolla or the sparkling skyline at night as it hugs San Diego Bay then its the incredible colonial Spanish architecture and Mexican influence almost everywhere you look.
If, after all that sightseeing, you get the urge to take yourself shopping, the city has many options to choose from shops that specialize in folkloric art, one-of-a-kind souvenirs from the Pacific Ocean, and open-air markets like the Old Town market! Here, you’ll be able to browse over 40 unique shops that specialize in handcrafted items from Mexico as well as contemporary fashions. Buy a cool Mexican wrestling mask at Blanket Supply or check out the accessories and clothing for women at the Amore Collection!
