Buy Traditional Candy

For the sweet-tooth, Guanajuato is definitely paradise. 

If you like a bit of sweetness in your life, in the city center you can find traditional candy that has been produced for generations. Distinguishing between the different varieties, flavors, shapes and colors, you can choose between caramels, tumbagones, charamuscas, momias de dulce (sweet mummies), jamoncillos, sweetened figs and crystallized strawberries, enchiladas (spicy candy) or chocolate-covered candy from Irapuato. 

Speaking of candy shops, Dulcería La Catrina is a firm favorite thanks to its dulce de leche, coconut desserts, jellies and a gourmet line with no sugar. There is also La Casona del Dulce, which is ideal for eggnog and wafers, as well as home-made marzipan and jelly fruit candies.
