Tlaquepaque - Sedona, Arizona
Pronounced Tla-keh-pah-keh and meaning the "best of everything". Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village was built in Sedona to resemble a traditional Mexican village. Located inside the beautifully decorated buildings are stores, galleries and restaurants.

Aztec wall relief?
Colorful reflection and glass wall art
Some interesting looking metal and glass sculpture
But I just enjoy walking through Tlaquepaque, having never been to Mexico, I can walk around this make believe village and pretend I’m south of the border. The architecture is quite beautiful and I’m amazed at all the attention to detail. I love art and to me Tlaquepaque itself is art. I’ve actually never even gone inside any of the stores or galleries, I’m more interested in the structures themselves and all the unique details.
