Discover second-hand shops, collectibles, flea markets…..Enjoy the most vintage and retro side of Sevilla.
MACARENA
Hello guys! My name is Macarena, a sevillian and I love to explore the second-hand shops in my city, as well as collectibles markets… that’s how I can discover new spots. And what better than to show it to visitors who come and can enjoy it while touring Sevilla.
I’ve prepared a 3-day plan so you can visit the areas with vintage shops while getting to know the city of Sevilla, its corners, its restaurants and bars, cafes… that way, you’ll enjoy everything even more… I hope you enjoy ! 🙂
The first day starts in the most alternative area of Sevilla, the Metropol Parasol (Las Setas). A great place to begin the route is on Regina Street, a street reinvented in recent years, where you can find craft shops, clothing stores, cafes, restaurants… We recommend having a hearty breakfast to get your energy up at La Cacharrería, you’ll love its atmosphere, decoration, breakfasts, brunch, juices, and cakes…
We continue down the street and reach Feria Street, one of the liveliest streets in the city, where traditional neighborhood stores mix with modern shops. Moreover, if you come on a Thursday, you’ll experience the street in all its glory with the historic antique market “El Jueves.” Here’s a list of shops to visit: for clothing, there’s Wonder Vintage, Nonna´s Vintage,, Ropero, Antro Vintage, Pipa Vintage, Flamingos vintage Kilo…; for books, there’s Baena Bookstore… You can take your time and have a wonderful day in the area.
A must-visit is the Mercado de Feria, where you’ll find a traditional market for fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish. You can also grab a bite at Jaleo Guadalquibeer. Just behind here, you can visit the Marqueses de la Algaba Palace or the Monumental Ensemble of Saint Louis of the French. For lunch in the area, I recommend “El Ambigú.”
If you’re looking for a more immersive experience, one option I recommend for dining today or any other day is to try SAZÓN The Folk Cook, SAZON is the world’s first platform to provide Spanish food homely prepared by locals at their own houses, where you would taste it in complete privacy.
And for retro video game enthusiasts, you have to stop by Arcade Bar, where you can play arcade machines, board games, have snacks, and enjoy various types of beer. For dinner, I suggest heading to the Alameda. You can go to Bar Antojo. And for a drink, you can enjoy one of the terraces in the square, like Casa Azul.
Today, we start the day at the Cathedral. Right across from it, you have one of Sevilla’s hidden charming spots, Plaza del Cabildo. In this beautiful semicircular square, you’ll find several interesting and curious shops like Lola Ortega Antique Shop or Poster Felix. Additionally, if you come on a Sunday, you can find a coin and stamp collecting market.
From here, we’ll head down Postigo del Aceite, towards the Arenal neighborhood. Here, I recommend checking out the El Postigo Crafts Market. Next, we’ll walk to Plaza del Salvador, where you can find the second-hand clothing stores Moda-re and Península Vintage. You can also visit the charming second-hand bookstore Boteros. For lunch in this area, I recommend the restaurant Sal Gorda.
Then, we’ll walk down Sierpes Street to reach Amor de Dios Street, where you have the Re-Read bookstore, and the classic record stores Latimore and Record Sevilla. We’ll conclude our shopping route on San Eloy Street to visit the clothing store Mosaico, you’re sure to find a surprise or a bargain. You can end the day by having a drink or dinner on the terrace of Justa y Rufina.
Today, we’ll stay on the other side of the river, in Los Remedios and Triana. I recommend having breakfast at Café del Valle.
You can visit the antique shop El Desván de Bartleby and stroll down the traditional Pagés del Corro street, and explore Overtime, which specializes in antiques and collectibles. If you come on the weekend, don’t miss the Art Market on Paseo de la O. I would stop for a drink or have lunch at Taberna la Plazuela or at the Triana Market.
In the afternoon, you can visit the Triana Ceramic Center. We’ll take Castilla Street, where you’ll find another spot for collectors, Coleccionismo Don Cecilio. You can end the afternoon by grabbing a drink on Betis Street, for example at La Prensa de Triana, and have dinner on San Jacinto Street at La Valiente.
Note: Liiffe recommend you book restaurants and events in advance to ensure availability, as well as check schedules, as they vary depending on the season.
