About Callejón de los Sapos e Barrio del Artista
The Callejón de los Sapos is a stretch of 6 Sur street in downtown Puebla, with colorful houses, inner courtyards, antique shops, cafés and bars. The name comes from the toads that lived in the old stream that ran there, and toad sculptures decorate the square.
On Saturdays and Sundays, the Sapos square hosts a market of antiques and secondhand items, with furniture, old talavera, coins and toys.
A few blocks away, the Barrio del Artista is a street of open studios where painters work and sell paintings, next to the El Parián crafts market, with shops selling talavera, sweets and clothing.
