The first known regulating plan for Sandnes was made in 1858, and shows several long streets in parallel, with shorter cross streets. The main street got the name Langgata, probably in 1899. The main picture shows one of the cross streets seen from the central railway station; Langgata is one block up.
Strolling along this pleasant street you can get everything you want, picture 2 - 5 shows some examples:
2: "Ost & kaffe" = cheese and coffee. They sell tea too, and some other good stuff. There are a few tables to sit down and relax with a sup.
3: Mix Import, certainly a mix! Good prices on oriental food, exotic fruit and and gift articles.
4: VillaRosa, furnishings and clothes in what they call a "luxury bohemian shabby chic" style. Site in norwegian only, but a lot of pictures on each page.
5: Preus frisør, get your hair done inbetween your shopping.
