Top 10 Gift & Specialty Shops in El Paso, Texas (TX)
For an alternative Texas experience, consider El Paso. Located far from the bright lights of Dallas or San Antonio, in the state's western corner along the sparkling shores of the Rio Grande, El Paso boasts a different feel than its eastern counterparts. A true melting pot of American and Mexican culture, the combination is noticeable everywhere. Visit the El Paso Museum of Art and see American works from the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as Mexican colonial art and retablos from the 1700s and 1800s. Restaurants serve authentic Mexican cuisine, Texas barbecue or a little of both. While this fusion of cultures draws some, the rock climbers who descend on El Paso have only one thing in mind: scaling the massive boulders of Hueco Tanks State Park. Those who prefer the ground can wander through the park's interpretive center and see ancient Indian pictographs. Other popular El Paso pastimes include golf, mountain biking and our personal favorite, stargazing.

4. Literarity Book Shop

Reviewed By jimtZ7231HS - Austin, United States
This is an amazingly well curated and well organized bookstore, with both new and used titles. The new titles reflect the owner's eclectic tastes, and he is available (and willing) to recommend titles. There is a wide selection of rare, signed, unusual and out-of-print books. It is a little difficult to find, owing to its position in the little strip center where it is located, and signage is poor. If you are looking for a bookshop in El Paso, this is the one to visit, hands down. Support your local Independent Bookseller!
