What's shopping like in Aruba? Can we find a lot of international brands? Do we see the usual enclosed structures with numerous stores inside? Or does the architecture of the shopping malls speak a lot about the distinct personality of Aruba?
I don't remember any large shopping malls, but then again I avoid them at home so I may not have even noticed! I recommend you check out some of the local shops and markets, it's a much more authentic experience.
