On a recent visit to iconic Murphy Street in nearby Alpine Texas we stopped by one of our favorite shops. The Murphy Street Mercado is a feast for the eyes, so we brought our cameras. This week we’re Featuring this amazing shop.
Located at 106 W Murphy Street, the Mercado is a treasure indeed. It is a gorgeous Garden Center, carrying a striking array of plants; cactus, succulents, flowers and trees. It is a panoply of color, changing with the seasons in an ever pleasing array of riotous growth. There is also a sweet shop that carries pottery, fair trade gifts and Mexican imports. This place is a delight for all the senses.
Murphy Street is a salute to Alpine’s history and to the vibrant place it is today. In the weeks to come, we will certainly be posting more pictures and information about this this very fun [extended local] neighboring shopping and dining district.
