Equestrian Equipment

Jerez is also one of the best places in the world for refined horseriding gear. Arcab is a good starting point.
Flamenco Costumes

One of the very best places to find genuine flamenco gear is Jerez de la Frontera. Head for Calle del Flamenco.
Flea Market, Jaén

Thursday mornings see this street come to life with a catch-all market that can net you anything from pure junk to a rare treasure.
Galería de Vinos Caldos, Jaén

One of the region’s best wine shops. Featured, of course, are regional wines, including those from Montilla.
Ghadamés, Córdoba

Here, Córdoba leather is worked and coloured into traditional patterns and images, most of them relating to the area’s Moorish history, although some are on religious themes and others pertain to local customs.
Gibraltar Shopping

The shopping draw here is twofold: there’s no sales tax and it’s mostly duty-free and most of the leading UK high street names are represented, such as Marks & Spencer and The Body Shop.
Ham

The Mesón Sánchez Romero Carvajal in Jabugo is one of the top producers of the local jamón ibérico (see Jabugo).
Hecho en Cádiz, Cádiz

Paintings and sculptures by local artists are available here, but they also carry a full line of gastronomic specialities from the area, including honey, wine, olive oil, as well as crafts of all sorts.
Huelva City

The provincial capital boasts its own El Corte Inglés department store on Plaza de España, while the area around it and just off Plaza 12 de Octobre constitutes the main shopping district. The Mercadillo (open-air market) is held every Friday on the Recinto Colombino.
La Alacena, Granada

This is a tempting place to come for regional foodstuffs. You’ll find some of the finest olive oils, local and national wines and ham from the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada.
