There is no doubt that bargaining will spice up the shopping experience in Ixtapa. 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained', as they say, and the local shop keepers know this for a fact so they always give top prices, knowing that customers will try bargaining for a better one. They know that if all goes well, after a while of bargaining, both sides will reach an agreement, settle for a price and a sale will be made. Bargaining is a common practice in Mexican markets and it's not the same experience without it.
The heart of the shopping district in Zihuatanejo is the downtown area, located on the bay. There are pedestrian streets with a lot of shops selling all sorts of things, such as freshly-roasted coffee from Guerrero, featuring exceptional export quality and aroma. You can also find typical candy from the region, tasty tamarind sweets, and coconut patties, fruit oils for aromatherapy, natural suntan lotions made of coconut oil, as well as lovely handcrafts that you can buy as souvenirs to take back home.
If you happen to run out of cash, don't worry. Most shops take credit or debit cards and there are a couple of banks and ATM machines throughout the downtown area, so you can keep shopping. So save some money for a trip to the marvelous spas in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo or for a tour of the best attractions in the area.
