Sevilla Shopping

There are lots of shops in town but if you want to buy, eat and go to the cinema in once you can go to one of the deparment stores, as Nervión Plaza is. There are lots of international shops, some typical Sevillian restaurants and some international ones (Mexican, American and Belgian) and 12 theaters.
It's located in the business and residential area of Nervión where there are lots of modern hotels. It's fifteen minutes from the centre by car/taxi, 20 minutes by bus and 30 minutes walking.

Hay muchas tiendas en la ciudad, pero si quieres comprar, comer e ir al cine en un sólo sitio puedes ir a uno de los centros comerciales, como es Nervión Plaza. Hay muchas tiendas internacionales, algunos restaurantes típicos sevillanos y otros tantos internaiconales (mexicano, estadounidense y belga) y 12 salas de cine.
Se encuentra en el barrio residencial y de negocios Nervión, donde hay muchos hoteles modernos. Está a 15 minutos del centro en coche o taxi, a 20 en autobús y a 30 andando.

You can find everything touristy about Sevilla in the many Tourist Shops around. There were many around the Golden Tower and this one was in a Plaza near the Santa Cruz District. I couldn't resist the very appealing display they had outside the shop.

What to buy: Seville T-shirts, ceramics, souvenirs, Spanish fans

Cross the river into Barrio Traina and go down c/San Jorge and the surrounding streets. Here you will find several shops selling fine ceramics. The shops are worth a visit just to see.

Perhaps not the most convenient purchase is you are flying from seville!

These shops are everywhere in Spain . They seem to be quite popular and prices seem to be on the expensive side.

What to buy: You can buy clothing, jewelry etc. since they are always located in the nearest shopping mall you can browse other department stores.

What to pay: Never bought anything in these stores.

Every town in Spain has at least one and Sevilla is no exception. The major pedestrianized shopping streets are Calle Sierpes and just a block to the west, Calle Velazquez which turns into Calle Tetuan. Sierpes starts at the Plaza de San Francisco and runs north to Calle Campana. Velazquez/Tetuan starts at the Plaza Nueva and runs north to Calle O'Donnell, just south of the Plaza del Duque de Victoria and El Corte Ingles, the major department store in Spain.

Since they are basically the equivalent of shopping malls in the U.S., you can find shops with goods of all kinds. Not too many tourist stores but every day need stores such as shops with shoes, the latest fashions, flamenco wear, fans, ceramica, etc. Everyone is out in the early evening for a stroll before dinner. It's a great atmosphere but dead during siesta (1-4pm) as the stores all close.

What to buy: You name it...it's all there.

What to pay: Varies

I really like the area behind El Corte Ingles downtown for the little stores there. You can find all sorts of little clothing shops, decorations, and just odds and ends. I also like the market in front of El Corte Ingles (in the square) for buying jewlery, and purses.. sometimes even clothing.

What to buy: Anything Spanish, so if youýre looking for a mantilla, or a peineta youýre in the right place.. fans, anything like that.
Leather goods are also quite reasonble, such as shoes, and purses.
Iýve also liked the jewlery Iýve found here, although much of it is probably made somewhere else.

What to pay: It depends on what youýre looking for..
You will likely pay more on Calle Sierpes than somewhere else. It pays to look around a little, although when its hot you may not want to walk very far.

The main tourist shops are situated around the Giralda and the Barrio Santa Cruz. You can find everything that represents Sevilla or Spain from a touristic point of view: T-shirts, fans, local dresses, ceramics, little bull-statues, ...
Not really my cup of tea, but of course there should be a choice for everyone. ;-)

Triana is the district of the "people". It's on the other side of the Guadalquivir, a bit away from the tourist center. The market is the ideal way to mingle among the locals. Strolling on food markets is one of my favourite things when I'm abroad, it's a great way to discover some of the "real everyday life" of people. In the Triana market you can find lots of fruit, vegetables but also smelly cheese and meat presented in a way that certainly shocked more than one animal lover ;-))
