Alcaiceria
About
Alcaicería is Granada’s historic market street, echoing its powerful Nasrid heritage. Today it houses a family‑run shop offering authentic Andalusian craftsmanship, from glazed ceramics to ornate wood inlays, all displayed in a charming Neo‑Moorish building that survived a 19th‑century fire and subsequent reconstruction. Located at the corner of Calle Alcaicería and the Cathedral, the shop is a convenient stop for visitors exploring Granada’s old town. Inside, you’ll find an eclectic mix of souvenirs, religious artefacts, miniatures and seasonal decorations, making it an ideal spot for a light shopping detour. The shop’s friendly staff, expert knowledge about each craft, and thoughtfully curated displays create an engaging experience that showcases Granada’s artistic traditions in a relaxed, accessible setting.
