I've been to Mexico several times and have always been on the lookout for lace. I don't go to the really touristy places but enjoy better the 'real Mexico' of the small towns and rural areas. The only lace that I have found were pieces of Teneriffe Lace mantillas in Cabo San Lucas (a real tourist trap). The were available in white and black and at $3.00 I didn't even try to barter a better price. In the Yucatan, I bought some strips of fabric that were covered in cross-stitch. I think that they were used to make the women's blouses. Other than finding some crochet cotton thread, I haven't found much in the lace realm.
