What are the best items to shop for while in Spain?
Markets sell the freshest of produce and quality wines can be found at almost any grocer. Every large town has a daily market (mercado) open from 9 a.m. to 2p.m. In addition to the produce and baked goods, they sell items such as flowers, hardware, pottery, lace embroideries and clothes. Antiques and flea markets are held everywhere in Spain, but are more abundant in Madrid. Leatherwork is still highly regarded among Spain’s many traditional crafts. You will find good pricing on leather goods including purses, wallets, shoes and belts. Lladro can also be bought at a good price.
