Quiroga, named after Don Vasco Quiroga, is just 25 minutes from Patzcuaro and is famous for its beautiful churches and immense market. Take the road counter-clockwise around the Lake in the direction of Tzintzuntzan. Quiroga is the town right after Tzintzuntzan. Although very few of the crafts sold in Quiroga are made in Quiroga, just about all of them are from the state of Michoacan. We recommend Quiroga for a one-stop shop for low-cost shopping. Feel free to explore on your own or hire a guide. Here are some pictures:
