Aldevinco, Shopper's Paradise in Davao

I like Aldevinco because the batik, bags, pearls, etc. are cheaper there. Because it's a cluster of stores, the place will give shoppers a wide selection of Davao souvenir items like shirts, fridge magnets, coin purses, etc. Don't leave Davao without checking this place out.

You name it, you can get everything in this place. Hold on, check that. What I meant to say is you can get batik cloths, jewelry made of pearls and gemstones, copper ware, various types of wood work, ancient swords, shields and other handicrafts. The prices are higher than expected but cheaper compared to the traveler's home country. You are. however, expected to barter and this system could be fun for others while a pain for some :) Additionally, if you run out of the local currency, they have a few money exchangers who offer better rates than banks. In closing, all I have to say is to enjoy and have fun!
