We visited Alcaiceria as we happened to stumble across it while walking around the streets of the city. There is a large range of shops or stalls around. They all sell lots of different little items which visitors may or may not like, but many actually do buy them. We did not buy anything but we walked through and had a look. Depends on one's taste and interest whether they look or buy, or both!

Granada is full of winding alleyways, but none are quite as expressive as the Alcaicería. It's fascinating mix between market and maze and was once home to many Moorish Silk-weavers who brought their trade with them when they moved to the site some centuries ago. Today it functions primarily as a shopping district. My wife and I enjoyed the stroll around.

This area is well worth visiting. You can buy some great Moroccan lighting, throws and more here. Quite a few of the small units stock the same products. Some of Granada souvenirs are cheap tacky imports from China ! It is worth paying more for the genuine Andalucian article !

This small neighborhood seems like something out of an Arab children's story. It is made up of narrow alleys in which small Arab houses offer on their basements a multitude of offers of all types of items for tourists.
The enclave, in the surroundings of the Cathedral, Royal Chapel; its origins, the old Nasrid souk where silk fabrics were manufactured and marketed; They are more than enough reasons for your visit.

It is not a store, it is an area of shops, bazaars, etc. Everything is very Arab-style, it seems that suddenly, from being in the middle of the city next to the cathedral, bars, etc., you teleport to an Arab souk. It is a small space with narrow streets and a small square with a lot of charm.

The Alcaiceria is located between the cathedral and Calle de los Reyes Catolics. Next to the cathedral is the Madraza (Arab university), which was founded around 1349 by Yusuf I. From the 15th century onwards, the building was used as the town hall.
You enter the Alcaiceria through a gate. In the old Moorish quarter, fabrics were once traded. Today, there are souvenir shops, boutiques and small tea rooms here. In the delicatessen for sweets "Torrons Vicens de 1775" we bought excellent nougat with almond, pistachio and lemon flavor, shrink-wrapped to take home.

It took a really long time to find the entrance to the market which is actually right at the entrance of the Cathedral but in truth, I wish we hadn’t wasted our time. Every stall has exactly the same stuff as the previous stall with the exception of one or two that had spices. If you’ve been to Morocco, turkey or any country that has an authentic market, don’t waste your time here because you will be disappointed.

4/5 orthogonal streets full of characteristic shops. During the visit you will feel like you are in North Africa in an environment of a thousand colors and smells. Interesting objects although obviously not unique. Honest prices and good quality. Friendly staff in a unique setting. Not to be missed.

Surprisingly not very busy which made it all the more enjoyable. Wandering around the narrow bazaar-like passageways and peering in the numerous tat shops was an unexpected and diverting treat.
Guaranteed you’ll lose your sense of direction. Keep on exploring to find your way out.

Once the old Moorish silk market, and Granada's Grand Bazaar, it is today a street of many shops, some with locally made items.

I would say very likely as tourism will be heaving.

Greetings. Thanks for all the info. Can I find authentic moroccan jewelry in Alhambra, or Alcaiceria? I am looking for higher end items, not just souvenirs. Thanks for your input. Greatly appreciated! -Dana
Written 13 September 2017
Possibly. You may have to look hard for authentic Moroccan jewelry, though. Much of what is in shops is designed for tourists. I'd find a quality jeweler and ask for a reference to a good source.

what's the likelihood of this place being open on Easter weekend? Thank you!!
