Local artists who do quality art are clustered in this area of Balboa Park.
Great value and great atmosphere.
Located between the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park.

Just next to the San Diego Zoo (to the right of the zoo entrance) is a charming little village setting for artists. If you like local artists of different classes and styles, from glass to pottery, from oils to jewelry, you need to visit the Spanish Village. I collect glass. Two great glass places here. San Diego Gem and Mineral scociety is also there. Kids loved it!

Walking around in this brightly-colored artists' haven reminds one of traveling through Munchkin Land! Through windows in little studios one can see myriad forms taking shape. Potters, glass blowers, jewelry makers, painters & other crafters all make their home here. Art is for sale all over the place! A really cool experience, and a great place to find gift items (or things for yourself!).
