Seville’s main shopping zone is in Centro around Calles Sierpes, Tetuán, Velásquez, Cuna and Plaza del Duque. This busy area is the place to come for clothes, be it modern Spanish gear or essential Seville Feria fashion; shawls, flamenca dresses, mantillas, ornamental combs, castanets and fans.
Head to the Alameda de Hércules area for more offbeat shopping, either in the area’s lively markets or the smaller shops along Calles Amor de Díos, Jesús del Gran Poder or Trajano. If it’s gorgeous ceramics you’re after, Triana is the place to go; there are dozens of attractively decorated shops. Most of these shops are used to tourists and can arrange reasonably priced secure international delivery. If you’re not an EU resident, remember to pick up an IVA-exemption form; you can get this sales tax refunded at the airport when you leave.
Shops are generally open Monday-Friday 1000-1400, 1700-2030 and Saturday 1000-1400. During Semana Santa, virtually nothing opens on the Thursday, Friday, or Sunday, and many shops are shut the whole week.
