Top 5 Shopping Spots in Granada

If you're anything like us, you purposefully leave a small section of your suitcase empty for bringing back some kind of memento from the places you visit - a reminder to yourself every time you see or use it of the beautiful and fun holiday you had. Here are the Top 5 Spots in Granada to find just those kinds of gifts for you or those back home.

Here is what we recommend:

Plaza Nueva & Area
When picking up your Alhambra tickets in the Alhambra Bookstore, take a look around and you'll realise you're in a perfect gift-buying spot. Here and in various shops along the square are little shops dedicated to the intricate designs and decor that the Alhambra, Nasrid Palace and Generalife boast. Pick up notebooks, paintings or postcards to send home. You can find stamps around the corner on Calle Colcha in the Tabacos shop.

Plaza Bib-Rambla & Area

On a sunny day, you'll find there's nowhere more bustling than Plaza Bib-Rambla with people thronging to the outdoor cafés, having a café con leche or cerveza in the sunshine while watching the kids play on the carousel close by. Take time to pop into the shops along the edge of the Plaza as you'll find some great mementos for taking home. The streets linking to the Plaza are also handy for browsing.

Calle Calderería Nueva
A must-visit on your trip to Granada, this inclining street is filled with Teterías (tea-shops), Arabic cafés and restaurants as well as shops spilling out on to the street with beautiful cushions, slippers, lamps, clothing and small pieces of furniture such as foot rests or side tables - all eager for space in your suitcase! 
You'll find everything you need here and be ready to bargain a little to keep it interesting.

​Albaicí​n for Ceramics
You'll notice beautiful, colourful ceramics for sale around the Catedral and central areas of Granada. While these locations will all do for buying that gift in a rush, if you are looking for the real thing, the one all these shops are imitating (or marking up in price), head to Fajalauza shop in the Albaicín. where a family has been creating ceramics by hand since 1640. 
Location: Carretera de Murcia, 15 
Website: http://www.fajalauza.es

Calle Recogidas
Now we all need a little retail therapy every now and then and when better on holiday when you're already in the 'treating-yourself' mood?! Calle Recogidas is filled with the world-renowned Spanish fashion shops such as Zara, Mango, Cortefiel, Truco and more. Explore this area for great deals in United Colours of Benetton, Massimo Dutti, H&M, Stradivarius, Blanco, Pull & Bear, etc etc!

BONUS SHOPPING TIP: One amazing thing we've found in Granada is a local artist and her silk-painted shoes: Carmen is a local artist who specialises in the art of engraving and reproduction techniques and has a studio in town showcasing it all. Check out her hand-designed silk shoes, matching silk scarves and other items of clothing and textiles. I already own two pairs and have gifted more to friends and family who rave about the beautiful designs and colours! They are truly a unique gift for yourself (or, ok, someone else) that you can be assured is a local speciality of Granada. To get a pair while you're in Granada, or want one sent to you, send me an email at [email protected] and we arrange to get a pair to you, along with a special Concierge99 discount ;)
