Alcaicería of Granada, Market in Granada, Spain
The Alcaicería features narrow stone alleyways lined with small shops selling traditional crafts, textiles, ceramics, and spices beneath covered passageways.
Originally built in the 13th century during Nasrid rule, this market specialized in silk trade before a fire in 1843 destroyed most structures.
Modern vendors maintain traditional Andalusian craftsmanship through their merchandise, including intricate textile patterns, ceramic designs, and metalwork techniques passed through generations.
Located near Plaza Bib-Rambla, the market opens Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 21:00 and Sundays from 10:00 to 15:00.
The market layout preserves medieval Islamic commercial architecture with its maze of narrow passages and small chambers formerly secured by iron gates.

Grenada is a city experienced like a poem. At the foot of the Sierra Nevada, it combines Muslim heritage, Catholic fervor, and Andalusian rhythm. Behind ochre facades lie shaded patios, fountains, mosaics, and carved arches that tell eight centuries of history. The Alhambra watches over the city like a stone dream, the Albaicín district unfolds its white alleys, and the gardens of Generalife recall the delicacy of Nasrid rulers. At every turn, a bell tower follows a minaret, an Arab market opens onto a baroque cathedral. Granada is as much an open-air museum as a living place, where flamenco still escapes from the Sacromonte caves. Between spirituality, art, and jasmine fragrance, the Andalusian city retains an elusive, almost mystical beauty.
