 At the stadium by SirRichard
- One at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium (Castellana ave, Metro Santiago Bernabeu), where you can also visit the trophy room and have a tour around the stadium.
- One at Carmen street very near from Puerta del Sol, in the first corner after you enter the street from the square. Leave a Comment

Approximately halfway down the street of Las Ramblas in Central Barcelona from Placa Catalunya, a wet market is located on the right side of the tree-lined street. A wide variety of wet consumer goods are available in the market such as fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh meats such as chickens, beefs, porks and muttons. The wet market may be tempting to some local and foreign tourists.
For those who are thirsty especially after a long walk during the hot summer months of July and August, mouth-watering fresh fruit juices and iced cold fresh fruits may sound attractive!
Mouth-watering fresh fruit juices and cut fresh fruits look attractive. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Spanish ceramics in Majorcan by deecat
Craft industries in Spain have become big business, particularly the colorful ceramics for which Spain is famous. For centuries, clay dishes, tiles, vases, and other ceramics with bright colors and beautiful designs have been crafted. The Moors influenced many of these designs [the Islamic religion does not allow craftspeople to represent humans in their artwork]. Large ceramics factories are located near the big cities of Valencia and Seville; however, small towns make their own pottery in distinctive styles, too.
Also, Spanish tiles are sold at El Rastro, Madrid's famous flea market.
Spain's wine and sherry businesses are important also. The sherry is exported to 120 countries around the world. It is desired by many, but especially the British, who have been importing it since the 16th century!
The traditional craft of lace-making is thriving again because of the tourist industry. I saw many people taking home lace items as a souvenir of Spain.
When you go to Spain, you don't need to purchase tacky souvenirs. Instead, purchase a nice leather belt, leather shoes, a lace tablecloth, some Majorcan pottery,El Rastro tiles, and the world-class sherry. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Popular buys include leather goods ( shoes, handbags, belts, etc. ), ceramic pottery, LLadro porcelain figurines, Damascus jewellery, embroidered shawls, lace and Toledo Gold. The numerous excellent sherries and wines produced in Spain also make good souvenirs. Goods sold in Spain include a VAT in the selling price. Travellers to Spain are entitled to a reimbursement of the 16% VAT tax they pay on all purchases as long as these add up to no less that EURO 90.15.
When shopping look for the Europe Tax-free Shopping logo. Ask the shop assistant for a Tax-free Shopping Cheque which is your claim for the tax refund. Make sure customs authorities stamp your cheque as without the customs stamp, the cheques are not valid for refund. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Throughout Costa del Sol
