Why go
The Alcaicería is useful even without shopping: its compressed lanes recall the commercial quarter of the old medina. Look for Fajalauza painted pottery and taracea wood inlay among current wares, then step back into the broader streets around the cathedral. The shift in scale makes the market’s layout clear.
What to look for
- The tight network of lanes near the cathedral.
- Fajalauza painted pottery in the present shops.
- Taracea, Granada’s patterned wood inlay, among the craft displays.
Useful to know
- Walk the lanes while crossing between the cathedral area and nearby centre sights.
- Treat shop browsing as optional; individual shops follow their own opening arrangements.
