Are Arubans known for certain craft or handmade items? Do they make things from wood or metal? What kinds of things can we expect to find and how are they price wise?
The best two handmade items in Aruba are the food an the cigars. The down side is that you can not take them home with you. Still one of the reasons I love the place!
There are also some talented sculptors and painters in Aruba. Sometimes they take non handmade items and add an Aruban flair by hand painting it. Or adding to it with sculpting techniques.
