Angeles Méndez

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).
Cerámica Santa Ana

The place to buy the famous Triana pottery. In operation since 1870, this shop sells everything from replicas of 16th-century tiles to ashtrays. Similar workshops can be found on Calle Covadonga.
Compás Sur

For music lovers there are CDs, DVDs and books covering a variety of genres from Fúsion to Flamenco.
Crafts Market

This is the place to find handmade jewellery, leather goods and cheap clothes. Thursday to Saturday.
El Corte Inglés

Although you’re unlikely to find any bargains here, the range of merchandise is impressive. Spain’s main department store chain carries not only clothes and accessories, but also perfume, housewares, decorative items, CDs and sporting goods. There’s also a food hall and supermarket, which stock gourmet foods.
El Mercadillo

Just off the Alameda de Hércules, El Jueves flea market, held every Thursday, consists mostly of old junk, books and posters. Still, it’s fun to look for the occasional treasure. But beware of pick-pockets.
Mango

For the latest in younger women’s fashion trends, this is the place to come.
Old Train Station Shopping Centre

The old Córdoba train station has been restored to its former beauty and is now home to a shopping centre and entertainment complex.
Sargadelos

Household items with an artful twist are the speciality here. Complete dinner and tea or coffee services are traditional but at the same time inventive.
Zara

Here you’ll find hip, affordable clothing for the entire family. In summer, the linen blends and light cottons are just right for the Andalucían climate. Scents and sunglasses too.
