Shopping in Spain, much like its landscape, is diverse. Each city has its own mercado – indoor markets selling all sorts of goods, from cured ham and olive oil, to flowers and preloved clothes. If you’re in Madrid or Barcelona, the central district has upscale shopping streets lined with international brands, as well as shopping malls such as El Corte Ingles, Spain's leading department store with branches across the country
When it comes to things to buy in Spain, handcrafted items unique to the city make popular souvenirs. Shop for espardenyes shoes or local wines in Barcelona, Moorish marquetry and quality leather products in Granada, and handcrafted ceramics and orange blossom perfumes in Seville.
