One of my favorite facets of border culture is the unique and colorful art that can be found throughout border towns like Tucson or Nogales.
During my most recent trip to Nogales, Sonora, I had fun taking pictures of the magnificent art at El Changarro, a beautiful shop housed beneath the popular Nogales restaurant, La Roca (Refer back to my blog on La Roca Restaurant).
El Changarro is a little different than the Nogales shopping experience one should expect: they have their own, well-kept building and much higher price tags. But El Changarro also serves as a gorgeous gallery showcasing hand-made furniture, pottery, masks, light fixtures, dinnerware and glassware and numerous beautiful paintings.
Most of the hand-crafted artifacts at El Changarro come from Mexican cities like Mexico City and Oaxaca and are treasured by Nogales locals and tourists alike.
