Handicrafts
In the state of Guerrero, where Acapulco is located,
handicrafts are a creative expression that combines
indigenous wisdom, the fortitude of the Spanish conquerors
and the rhythm and colors of the natives. Their
handicraft characteristics are recognized and appreciated
abroad and the state is proud of them. The
most famous item is silver from
Taxco , the place for the
biggest silver mines on earth. Their
figures are sold worldwide and their craftsmen make
beautiful pieces. The
most famous ones include lacquer from Olinala, famous
worldwide for their pieces that include special textures,
landscapes and scents in gourds, trunks, jewelry cases,
trunks, screens, boxes, etc., made with the aromatic
linaloe tree.
A very typical item is the dolls and miniatures artfully
made of corn leaves from Chilapa, as well as the weavings
from the Amuzgo Indians, the drawings on amate paper
(handmade bark paper) and the ceramics from Xalitla.
In Acapulco, you can find these
handicrafts in the local markets or the handicraft stores
along the Costera, but it is better to buy them in the
Casas de las Artesanías, one of them located
on the first floor of the
International
Convention Center , a few steps from the Oceanic 2000
building.
