La Aurora

Northern Central Highlands


This interesting artesanías shop sells an array of rugs made on the premises; request permission to see the weavers at work at their looms in the workshop behind the shop. At one time there were a number of such traditional weaving shops in Bernal, but modern economics has taken its toll on most and now only this one remains.
