Alcaiceria's Great Bazaar

Description

In the Islamic days this was the location for Granada’s Great Bazaar, where merchants would tout their silks and spices along several crisscrossing streets. Nowadays what’s left is a single passageway full of souvenir shops, some of which hold more interest than others. If you’re searching for a gift that really represents Granada and Andalusia, try Fajalauza ceramics, Moorish-style earthenware, hand-painted with blue or green motifs of plants. Also authentic is taracea: Inlaid furniture and other wooden decorative items, with beautifully intricate patterns.
