Locals calls this area DIVISORIA. If you are into shopping and haggling, this is the place for you! Unfortunately, cash is king here. There are really good buys here, if you know what you are looking for, but the vendors here does not accept credit cards. You must use cash. When shopping here, please take some extra precautions. Do not shop alone. It will be best to have a local friend to assist with the haggling.
