Shopping in Granada
Granada offers excellent opportunities for shopping to tourists. And it is not just the souvenir shops – even Granada's everyday stores carry things which may interest you.
The best souvenir shops of Granada are located to the southeast of the cathedral adjacent to Plaza Bib-Ramblla. From here, you can buy exotically crafted chessboards and chess pieces in an incredibly large number of styles. Fans, jewelry, clothing and other items of decoration are also abundant here, and are offered for reasonable prices. Feel free to haggle if you do not see a “fixed price” sign anywhere in a shop.
Some dedicated tourist shops can be found along the Cuesta de Gomerez, outside the gate to the Alahambra.
Puerta Real is home to a large number of bookshops during the night, featuring many rarer publications along with more mainstream ones. There is a large outdoor market stretching from the Plaza de Mariana Pineda to Puerta Real, where you can buy homemade ceramics, handicraft items, yard fountains and a number of types of items imported from Africa.
A word of warning – when strolling through the the marketplaces, it is definitely a good idea to hold on to your wallet tightly if you want to be safe from pickpockets. These places often get very crowded during the tourist seasons.
