Charming Shops in Granada

It’s not all about the Alhambra, Sierra Nevada and yet more monuments. Granada has an enormous wealth of culture and tradition, so we’re going to try to put together a short collection of key places to visit to get to know the city a little better. Craftspeople, traditional bars, shops, charming streets… You’ll find all this and more here.

Just so you know, this is a list we’ve put together ourselves and it’s by no means everything there is.

In this post we’re going to focus on shops, whether they sell souvenirs, handicrafts or traditional goods… You’ll be able to take home a lovely memento of the city without having to wander around looking for one.
