I loved this little shopping village. There is more shade than the downtown shopping area. The architecture is charming with cobblestone walkways and the courtyards are filled with beautiful plants and sculptures. I enjoyed lunch with a friend on the patio at Rene. They have a great selection of ice teas. We spent a nice afternoon wondering through the shops and galleries and enjoyed an ice cream along one of the shady verandas. The stores and galleries are not inexpensive but prices are similar to other shops in Sedona. We parked in the hotel parking by mistake but we had no problem validating the ticket at the open market adjacent to the hotel and village entrance. The green chile salsa sold at the open market is excellent. During my second visit to Sedona, my husband and I returned to the Tlaquepaque village and enjoyed lunch at The Oak Creen Brewery. Don't miss this hidden treasure, we drove by the entrance to the village the first time we headed into town. It is worth a visit.
