Monterrey - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?

Most handicrafts are shipped up from the south. Recommend waiting to buy artwork etc. on trips to Mexico City and elsewhere. Oaxaca is an excellent destination with great shopping. - Feb 2021
