Shopping in Costa Del Sol, Spain

Shopping is just as varied as eating out in Spain and fashionistas will be in their element with the Costa del Sol's high street clothes shops. International favourites such as Zara and Mango, as well as Spanish brands such as Blanco, Stradavarious and Pull and Bear, are all represented and offer great choice. If you're visiting the Costa del Sol and hoping to shop for interesting things to take home with you, you'll probably want to take excursions just inland from the Coast in order to find traditional souvenirs. For example, in the mountain village of Tolox, just an hour from the eastern end of the coast, local men carve kitchen utensils during the summer months when the regional government pays them to sit at lonely outposts throughout the mountains watching for signs of forest fires. In Ronda, just inland from the western side of the coast, locals are known for the fine furnishings they produce.

If you decide to stay on the coast then you will mostly find the typical trinkets and ceramic wares sold throughout this region. It's also easy to find African imports, especially from nearby Morocco. The prices are much higher than they would be in Morocco, but usually still quite reasonable. The Costa del Sol can also be a great place to shop for great fashion, especially in Marbella. And all along the coast you'll find shops full of locally fashioned leather goods, from purses to shoes to coats. Also, there is a thriving local lingerie business with many items sold in small shops in the centre of Málaga produced by women living in the surrounding countryside and pueblos.
