  • The authentic Moroccan shops in this ancient quarter are all concentrated on two sloping streets off Calle Elvira – Calderería Vieja and Calderería Nueva (see Moorish Granada: Albaicín).

  • The hill towns of this zone are rich in traditional crafts, including ceramics and weaving. Local jarapas (rugs) are particularly prized. Bags, ponchos and blankets, too, are hand-loomed in age-old patterns. They’re all offered at weekly markets throughout the area.

  • This is a good spot to load up on all the flouncy dresses, mantillas, shawls and so forth that you will need to participate in the various festivals that abound in the region (see Religious Festivals).

  • The liqueur of choice around this zone is anise-based. One of the best is Anis Cazalla from the eponymous town (see Cazalla de la Sierra).

  • Thursday is the day the market stalls arrive in this Huelvan town. The market in Plaza de Abastos is a traditional produce spread, featuring the strong-flavoured goat’s cheese favoured by the locals.

  • Arte Cordobés, Córdoba

    A good choice for traditional Córdovan silver. Everything from small sculptures to filigree jewellery is on offer. Gold filigree creations are available as well.

  • In this mystical place you can find the likes of handmade ceramics and natural stones, and you may even stumble upon some archeological items for sale.

  • A good array of all the traditional crafts that have survived in this city. Particularly appealing are the glazed tiles and the carpets in multicoloured designs.

  • Classic Granada pottery, ranging from plates and bowls to jars and crockery as well colourful Moroccan items.

  • For good-quality souvenirs this is likely spot. Choose from ceramics, leather goods, glassware and other accessories, all handmade.
