Azor Antique
Azor Antique shop is located on the Santa Cruz Old Road along the banks of the San Juan River. This is one of the few remaining antique shops on the island and I am always intrigued by the nostalgic items they carry. Treat yourself to the experience of stepping into Trinidad's past and you may pick up a unique keepsake - 12-minute (8.4 km) drive from Green Space.

Green Market
Located in Santa Cruz, the Green Market is open on Saturdays from 6:00 am to 1:00 pm. This market is one of the earliest and most famous eco markets in Trinidad. In addition to local produce and food, one can also find local artisanal items like jewelry, crafts, soaps, homemade wine as well as occasional lectures and seasonal live music. They host a number of themed events throughout the year including cocoa, citrus, coffee, pineapple and avocado festivals as well as Christmas in July - 5-minute drive (2.7 km) from Green Space.
