OT Portal 1

Historic Old Town hosts the Portal Market located on the east side of the Old Town Plaza. The Market operates daily from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. however, the vendors sell at their discretion, so the number of vendors varies from day to day. The Market serves as an outlet for local artisans to sell their handmade jewelry. Turquoise, a popular New Mexican gem, along with other precious minerals can be found incorporated in bracelets, earrings, and necklaces alike. If you're looking to purchase authentic, handcrafted jewelry of the Southwest, the Old Town Portal Market is the place to be.
