El Salvador produces a number of instantly recognizable artesanías ,
such as the brightly painted, naif-style wood and ceramics from La
Palma, hammocks from Concepción Quezaltepeque, and interesting ceramics
at Ilobasco. These are far cheaper in their place of manufacture, but
the Mercado Cuartel and the Mercado de Artesanías in San Salvador both
have an extensive selection of goods from across the country at
reasonable prices; a number of more expensive shops around town also
carry smaller selections. Hammocks can usually be found for sale in the
parque central in San Salvador.
The outlets in the malls of San Salvador and San Miguel sell US clothing
at US prices. For something a little more down to earth, local markets (open
daily in most towns) sell clothing, fresh fruit, vegetables and much
more besides. Most towns also have at least one supermarket .
