Valencia is a city full of wonderful surprises. The best of Valencia is to make purchases in their markets and in the less commercial streets where the most original and charming shops are located. To stroll and discover its typical stores is quite fun. You can find beautiful things to make special gifts. You are going to have a great time shopping in Valencia!
The popular markets are spread all around Valencia. They are open every day of the week and only in the morning. The Plaza Redonda Market, which is held every Sunday morning, is one of the most charming markets of the city. This is known as “El Clot” (the hole), because it is located in a circular square and it is only accessible through some charming arcades.
The Plaza Redonda Square is located in the historic centre and is it easily accessible on foot. Behind it is located the Lonja de la Sedaper, where the lovers of philately and numismatics meet every Sunday morning to exchange stamps and coins.
The most sybarite people should visit the Central Market. It is an explosion of colours, sounds and tastes all together in a great modernist building. Recently restored, the Colón Market is a modernist gem that has become the favourite one for many people to spend their precious free time. There are cafes, restaurants, craft shops and traditional florists.
For those looking for haute couture shopping, they should visit Colon Street, close to the Market Square. Here are stores like El Corte Ingles, Zara, Mango, Vuitton and many other expensive designer boutiques.
But if you are looking for special gifts, you have to buy the original paella pan (for making authentic paella). Valencia is famous for its ceramics decorated in green and purple, which are original from the nearby town of Paterna. It would be a great present too! You can find the largest ceramic exhibition by Lladró in the Calle Poeta Querol. Would you like to know one of its greatest traditions? If so, you have to buy a fan, made by hand with an ivory frame or from exotic woods.
