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.
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.
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.
Leather

In the shops of Ronda you’ll find some of the best prices on leather goods of anywhere in Spain. Many of the items have well-known labels, since fashion houses often have contracts with leather factories in this area.
Los Duros Antiguos, Cádiz

This is the place for CDs of Carnaval music, videos of the zany goings-on, commemorative shirts and posters (see Carnaval).
Málaga Wines

The Bodega El Pimpi in Málaga’s old town is decorated like a traditional Andalucían house, together with wine barrels and pots of geraniums in the windows, while the walls display photos of all the celebrities who have been here. Choose from among the sweet wines of the Málaga area, based on the Moscatel and Pedro Ximénez grapes.
Mediterráneo, Cádiz

This is the best place in Cádiz to find provincial crafts. There’s an excellent array of practical and decorative ceramics, rugs, blankets, ponchos, candles, jewellery and lots more, all at very affordable prices.
Sherry

Jerez de la Frontera is, of course, also the prime spot to savour the finer points of a fino , a manzanilla , an amontillado or an oloroso (see Bodegas and Wineries).

The villages of Grazalema and ,Arcos de la Frontera are known for their blankets, ponchos, rugs and other woven textiles.
