| Seville
offers a wide selection of shops for buying arts and crafts, clothing,
leather goods, gifts, etcetera and its shopping districts are always full
of people and activity. We recommend visiting the following areas:
The
Historic center, around La Campana and the pedestrian streets of Tetuán
and Sierpes, which include traditional shops as ceramics, guitars, flamenco
costumes, fans, embroidery, as well as modern shops of fashion, music,
etcetera.
Nervión,
near the station of Santa Justa, contains several department stores.
Los
Remedios, on the other side of the river which skirts Triana, is the location
of several boutiques.
The
nearby town of Castilleja is famous for a wide range of desserts such as
Crumbles, Tortes, Sponge Cake and home-style sweets such as Sweet Bread
Fritters, Pestiños and Gañotes.
The
ceramics market based in Triana.
The
biggest open-air markets are those of the Plaza del Duque and the Plaza
de La Magdalena, which sell leather work and costume jewelry. The most
traditional event is held on Thursdays on Feria street.
Antique
Shops
The
Alfalfa neighborhood, especially around the Cabeza del Rey Don Pedro Street
and adjacent streets, contains a large number of antique shops and galleries
which exhibit and sell contemporary cart. The rest of the city's antique
shops are located in the shopping district. In these streets the traveller
can find a large number of stores for the purchase of art and antiques.
The
Antiques Fair is held every year in the old Plaza de Armas train station.
Another
opportunity for buying and selling antiques is the market held on Thursdays
on the Feria Street. |
