With the sheer quantity of shops, markets, and department stores packed into each Spanish city, you could viably spend years shopping! From regional goods hailing from Granada's peripheral villages right up through designer clothing created by Europe's veritable herd of fashion moguls, your shopping possibilities are endless!
Whether you want to leisurely poke about in tiny boutiques or max out your credit card in El Corte Inglés, Spain's giant department store chain, great shopping is everywhere! Of course, there are naturally a few areas of Granada that boast the best shopping. Head to Plaza Nueva for jewelry and ethnic clothing shops or to Calle de los Mesones for trendy clothes and shoe boutiques (Spain is famous for them!). Around the Cathedral and throughout the Granada center (especially the streets Puerta Real, Carrera de la Virgen, Recogidas, Acera del Darro, and Pedro Antonio de Alarcón) you'll come across Granada's most fashionable shopping
Specialty and artisan shops are spread throughout the center and the Albaicín, although another place to check out is the Cuesta de Gomérez- the road that leads up from Plaza Nueva to the Alhambra.
