Shopping
The heart of the shopping district is Calle Sierpes and the streets running parallel - Calle Velazquez Tetúan and Calle Cuna. Here you’ll find a vast array of both traditional, and designer, shops. Waft yourself silly with all manner of fans at Dizal, Calle Sierpes 48, or spare some time to clock Enrique Sanchis, Calle Sierpes 19, antiquated purveyors of timepieces. Nervión near Santa Justa station is a shopping mall containing several department stores. The old railway station of Plaza de Armas also houses an eclectic collection of modern shops.
The biggest and best open-air markets are the Mercadillo de Los Jueves, Plaza Alameda de Hércules (0700-1500 Thursday) and the Mercadillo del Duque y la Magdalena, Plaza del Duque/Plaza de la Magdalena (1000-2100 Thurday to Sunday).
Most shops open at 0930/1000, closing at 1330/1400 for siesta and reopening at 1700 until 2000 on weekdays. On Saturdays they generally only open for half a day and on Sunday remain closed, however several bigger stores stay open all day including Saturdays.
