Things to do in Morelia, Michoacan: The Best Shopping

December 15, 2021 Hana Mouser

Morelia (Spanish pronunciation: [moˈɾelja]; from 1545 to 1828 known as Valladolid) is a city and municipality in the north central part of the state of Michoacán in central Mexico. The city is in the Guayangareo Valley and is the capital and largest city of the state. The main pre-Hispanic cultures here were the Purépecha and the Matlatzinca, but no major cities were founded in the valley during this time. The Spanish took control of the area in the 1520s. The Spanish under Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza founded a settlement here in 1541 with the name of Valladolid, which became rival to the nearby city of Pátzcuaro for dominance in Michoacán. In 1580, this rivalry ended in Valladolid’s favor and it became the capital of the colonial province. After the Mexican War of Independence, the city was renamed Morelia in honor of José María Morelos, who hailed from the city. In 1991, the city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its well-preserved colonial buildings and layout of the historic center.

Reviewed By Parrotharcourt - Philadelphia, United States

When I am in Morelia, I always stop by this wonderful shop featuring the best handicrafts in Michoacan. All their items are of top quality, and I usually buy a rebozo in the hard-to-fine Patzcuaro style. There are also gorgeous jewelry, china, glassware, musical instruments, Michoacan ceramics and clothing to tempt you. In my opinion, you haven’t seen Morelia if you don’t spend some time in this amazing store.
