All that Cuenca is known for is found in the Civic Plaza including great historic buildings, good food and lovely surroundings.

Great place to shop for your local traditional arts and crafts! This is also located next to the 9 de Octubre mercado (market). I was glad we visited and did some last minute shopping!

This market serves both tourists and locals alike. You can't help but like the many examples of textiles and woolen blankets, sweaters, and ponchos offered by the many merchants. And if you are a local looking to buy a pair of knock off shoes or some kitchen supplies, you will surely find vendors hocking their wares. Bargain hard for the things you want. The vendors start off high expecting you to negotiate. While you are there, take the chance to get a snow cone topped with sweet juice flavored syrups capped off with some drizzled sweet condensed milk, served by men pushing a cart carrying the ingredients and a hand operated ice shaver. It is a different type of snow cone than I have ever tasted but it was really good. The cost to this "gringo" was 50 cents but locals pay less. Across the street is the Artesan's market that definitely serves the tourists and offers various examples of traditional Ecuadoran products such as leather goods, jewelry, and Panama hats.

Plaza Civica is a little out of the "Gringo Zone". The square itself is quite nice, but the area around is more interesting. From the middle of the square cross the street and go between two buildings (there was a Banos sign when we were there) and you will find the Artisan Market. Here you can get some real bargains if you haggle. On the opposite side of the square is the Mercado 9 de Octobre. Go inside as the market is quite clean and neat with loads of fruits and vegetables on the main floor, meats on the lower level and food on the upper level. Wander around the area and absorb the atmosphere.

Lots of great streets and night life. Better then the old city of Quito. People are out shopping and enjoying life. It felt safe, there are a lot of American's living in this city. So you'll notice the shops are more fancy and same with the coffee shops. Great Architecture we took tons of photos. Its good to have a guide to tell you the history of all the places in this city.
