Tlaquepaque is a word from the Aztec Nahuatl language. Loosely translated, it means “the best of everything.” It’s an apt designation for an arts and shopping village in Sedona, Arizona, that bills itself as the best shopping place in the city. Authentically fashioned after a traditional Mexican village, you’ll find it nestled beneath the shade of the sycamores on the banks of Oak Creek. It boasts over 50 specialty shops and exclusive art galleries featuring bronze sculpture, functional and traditional ceramics, blown glass creations, contemporary and Southwestern fine art paintings, weavings, décor pieces, large format photography, jewelry and more. Most shops are open daily.
