 A typical street shop by LoriPori It was quite a hoot to navigate the narrow streets of Granada and experience the sights , sounds and oh yes the smells of a very diverse city. The shop pictured here, one of the many COLOURFUL STREET SHOPS, was a common sight and their wares were proudly displayed on the street. It was common to see bakers, tailors and little produce shops in little cubby holes along the streets. Quite amazing!
Great buys in leather, laces and a hand-crafted pottery.
Haggle! Barter! Don't pay the first price quoted. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Along the narrow little streets of Granada

 just opening up after siesta by BerniShand between the Calle del Zacatin and the Cathedral is the Alcaiceria. This was once the city`s Moorish silk market and originally was much larger - almost a village within the city - even having its own mosque, and was gated and locked at night the original Alcaicera was destryed by a fire and then rebuilt in the 19th century, notice the wonderful shop fronts and carvings now it is an interesting group of narrow streets lined with shops selling souveniers, quirky designer shops and tiny jewellery shops, its a lovely place to browse, and the wonderful thing is that there is no hassle or pestering from the traders great things to buy here are light fittings which come in all shapes sizes and colours, sparkling slippers, ethnic clothing and marquetry work, of course there are also all the ubiquitous tourist things - fridge magnets, key rings, I [heart] GRANADA stickers etc, but its a lovely place to shop for gifts or keepsakes and prices were quite reasonable Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 have they got my size ? by BerniShand one evening we wandered through the souk in the Albaicin district, small shops, stalls and tea shops all packed together in the narrow winding streets, we liked the fact that there was no pressure to buy and we could browse as much as we liked, we bought a carved wooden ring for our grandson, only 2 euros, and a box of joss sticks the smell of which was everywhere we walked. We didnt stop for a glass of tea and a puff of the hubbly bubbly pipes, but we wished we had bought a pack of the tea which is for sale everywhere - there were so many different blends to choose from Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 eye can see you looking at me..... by BerniShand You are strolling along the busy street glancing in the shops and your attention is caught by a wonderful pharmacy, on the shelves around the shop are jars of long forgotten chemicals herbs and spices, the sort you used to see when every pharmacist used to make his own medicines and tablets you think to yourself `if I was ill this is the sort of shop Id like to visit for a good old-fashioned remedy` then you look in the small side widow and some things look back at you and then you DO feel a bit ill, but you dont go in, you hurry along to the shoe shop to look at something pretty Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Festival Discos CD shop by suvanki Whenever I travel, I like to listen to local music whether live or recorded, and try to buy at least 1 CD to remind me of the place I've visited. I found this shop, that had a wide selection of Cd's of Flamenco, classical and modern Spanish recordings, as well as popular European and American Artistes. The shop owner was very friendly and helpful. He doesn't speak fluent english, but on both times I've visited this shop, We've managed to communicate ok. *Update* On my second visit, I was hoping to get tickets to see Bruce Springsteen play at the Bull ring, I'd remembered this shop had quite a lot of Bruce stuff- cds, posters etc, so this was my 1st stop to try to get a ticket- he advised me to try El Corte Ingles, which wasn't successful, but he said I'd get a ticket ok. I did!! I was racking my brains to find a present for my parents, and as they like Opera, and I was in Spain- a CD of Carmen was a good choice- again, the owner was very helpful in advising me of the best recording - it was a bit more expensive than the one I'd originally picked, but he assured me that his choice was superior, and was his favourite. My parents were very pleased with it! Closes around 1300 reopens 1700 - 2100 I think!
Although I had a list of Cd's I would have liked to buy, I was limited to a budget, so I ended up just buying 1 compilation CD of Flamenco, which contained recordings in a variety of styles, and included some of the well known Flamenco singers and musicians. I also bought a CD of Carmen on my 2nd visit, which the owner helped me chose - My Spanish is virtually non-existant, the owners English is quite limited, but he is very helpful. You can also buy tickets for Flamenco shows in Sacromente here. Good stock of popular music, Flamenco, Classical music, Folk music etc
The Cds I saw were priced around 15 euros Leave a Comment Theme: MusicAddress: Cl SanSebastian18001, (Junto Plaza Bib-Rambla)Phone: (958)220745Directions: Off Plaza Bib - Rambla.

 Old Moorish silk market by Dabs In the narrow streets of the old Moorish silk market, you might imagine that you've stepped into an exotic land, here you will find all of the trinkets and souvenirs you might expect to find if you were visiting a market in Marrekesh or the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. You should be able to spot this area if you head to Plaza Bib-Rambla and head for the north end of the Plaza. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

 North African trinkets in a narrow shop by Bwana_Brown, 1 more photos We did not have a great deal of free time to wander around in Granada, but we did enjoy our little stroll through the Albaicin district after we had finished with the Alhambra. The narrow street along the River Darro was fronted by old buildings housing various narrow shops running back from the street. This made for some quite interesting browsing, such as this one selling North African artifacts of all descriptions. We wandered through it checking out quite a collection of different things to buy and nobody pestered us or put a hard-sell on. Our hostal was located not far away, on the other side of the river, and I noticed the same type of shops were located there when arrived in Granada (2nd photo). Every morning the owners would spread their wares out on the sidewalk and always, across the street, was a male member or two of the family leaning against a wall chatting or smoking while watching to make sure a street passerby did not just grab something for free!
Too much variety to even begin! Leave a Comment Theme: Antiques

 Playing dress up at one of the shops by racheljapi You can find everything here that you can't find anywhere else. Plus it's easy to talk down prices and people are very nice.
This is the perfect place to buy stuff for your friends and family at home
totally depends on you. Could be 5 euro to 100. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 El Cortes Logo by jamiesno I happened to shop at the El Corte Ingles in Granada but throughout Spain you will find this chain of department stores. From my assessment they are like the Wal-Mart of Spain so if you are looking for department store stuff, it's there!! Leave a Comment

 Typical Arabic tables, Granada by blint All up and down the streets behind Plaza Nueva there are Arabic shops. The shop owners will have you believe that all the goods are imported from India or Morocco or are hand made by their family in the Albaicin. I'm not sure how true this is as all the tables look the same in every shop you go in.
They sell interesting goods such as lights, cushions, tobacco pipes and flavoured tobacco, jewellery, wooden boxes, Arabic tea sets and tea, Arabic mirrors, Arabic tables and other furniture, leather goods such as bags and purses, Arabic shoes, incents, candles, marble chess sets and other great things which would look cool in your house..
For a table expect to pay from 60 euros up. For a full size pipe you can expect to pay around 80 euros though you can get smaller ones that work for cheaper. For a full tea set you can expect to pay 15 to 25 euros though if this is to much you can simply buy a teapot and a few glasses worth 1 euro each. The cushions are worth 12 to 40 euros depending on the design and size. The small trinkets such as wooden boxes or coasters are much cheaper going from 2 euros up. Leave a Comment Theme: Gifts
