  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The complete outfitter for romería and festival-going gear. All the frills, polka dots and bright colours will dazzle your eye, and it all comes in every size, so even babies can have a flounce or two.

  • 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.

  • In Moorish times this was the silk market, although the horseshoe arches and stucco work are a modern re-creation. The narrow alleyways are bursting with colourful wares of every description. Silver jewellery, embroidered silk shawls and ceramics are top buys.

  • Arab-style furniture and taracea (marquetry) boxes are made and sold here (see Granada Taracea).

  • This coastal town is known for its distinctive pottery and jarapas . Head for Calle Las Eras, in the Barrio Alfarero, just off the principal street, where you’ll find the genuine article.
