Valencia is a Spanish town that fades a little against the background of Barcelona and Madrid. And thanks to this, it becomes an incredibly attractive place for fans to shop around and at the same time decently save. Shopping in Valencia will give you the opportunity to get acquainted and purchase clothes of a wide variety of brands, from the elite niche to the mass market. Moreover, there are several markets here that offer customers unusual items and souvenirs. Interesting? Then let's go!
Clothes and shoes of elite brands
We decided to start with the top brands, whose names are synonymous with the word “fashion”. What brands of elite clothes and shoes can be found during shopping in Spanish Valencia? The shopping streets of the Barrio del Carmen area offer boutiques called Chanel, Roberto Cavalli, Prada, Gucci, Dior and many others. Elite shops are located on the streets of Calle Paz and Calle Poeta Querol. Moreover, less popular but truly unique clothing brands such as Custo Barcelona, Komomolo, Sixty Nine Shop and others are also presented here. Finding an area with such a huge concentration of luxury brands is not at all difficult - it is located in the heart of the historical part of the city.
We also note that such expensive shopping in Valencia will allow you to buy not only clothes and shoes, but also all kinds of accessories from well-known brands, as well as cosmetics and perfumes.
Purely female territory
Elite brands are the object of desire not only for women, but also for men. But if you came to shopping in Valencia with friends, then first go to the El Corte Ingles shopping center. This is a real women's paradise, where men are strictly forbidden. The huge mall from top to bottom is filled with everything that the fair sex may need. It is impossible to get out of here without a ton of packages and packages. So, the entire first floor of the mall is dotted with perfume and cosmetics shops. Here you can find everything from mass brands to exclusive. The next few tiers are filled with boutiques in which clothes, shoes, underwear and even goods for home and children are presented. There are restaurants and cafes on the top floor so that ladies, resting from shopping, can have a bite to eat.
Universal Department Store
Compare prices and quality, as well as buy things of famous brands at a lower price - this is why most Russian tourists travel to Spain. Shopping in Valencia makes it possible to do both. There is a huge mall here - an analogue of the Moscow Golden Babylon, but the prices in it are almost and half as low. So, we are talking about the Aqua shopping center, which absorbed literally all existing popular boutiques like a sponge, with the exception of top brands. For those who plan to shop on a budget, the mall features Zara, Sradivarius, Mango, Bershka stores (note: these brands are “native Spaniards”, so the price of clothes here will be record low) and many others.
But for middle-aged clothing lovers, Massimo Dutti, Guess, Marks & Spencer and the like boutiques are open here. There are also shops for perfumes, cosmetics and underwear.
Budget but quality
Shopping in Valencia can be not only convenient, but also economical, as evidenced by the huge shopping mall Centro Comercial Saler. The name speaks for itself - here sales never end. The shopping center is crowded with mass-market boutiques such as Zara, Pull and Bear, Stradivarius, New Yorker and others. But its chip is the infrastructure. Firstly, there are many children's stores with very high-quality goods. Secondly, for children whom you will make happy with new things and toys, there are special recreation areas and entertainment complexes. And, thirdly, the Centro Comercial Saler is a favorite of sports fans. There are several huge sports shops where you can buy absolutely everything in order to make your body more perfect.
All in one bottle
If you have not decided what you want, but have already flown to shopping in Valencia, an outlet and shops with luxury brands within one mall is what you need. Everyone who has visited Bonaire shopping center at least once in his life knows perfectly well that this is a gigantic structure that contains literally everything. There are boutiques offering clothes from leading world brands - Chanel, Louis Vuitton, etc. Along with them are budget brands - Bershka, Zara, Reserved. In a separate part of the mall, there is a giant outlet, which receives outdated collections from neighboring boutiques and is sold at record low prices. Well, is it not for shoppers paradise? In addition to the myriad of shopping malls, Bonaire also has a well-developed entertainment infrastructure - cinemas, restaurants, cafes, artificial rocks and pools, playgrounds, labyrinths, attractions, ice rinks and rollerdromes - everything is available.
All to the market!
As in modern Moscow, in Valencia, such a phenomenon as the market has long been transformed. Of course, there are still places with counters that stand right in the open, but more on that later. In the meantime, we present to your attention the El Mercado Colon market and shopping center. This gives the impression that you really are in a large shopping center, and that it is still a market, they say only outlets that have no names - only a number. The clothes and shoes presented here are of good quality, and most importantly - uniqueness.
By the way, it is at El Mercado Colon that you can buy quite non-standard things made by your own hands, which will no longer have analogues in the world. That is why the Spanish youth are very fond of visiting here.
Dedicated to hunters of uniqueness
Shopping may include not only the purchase of branded items and perfumes, but also jewelry, which is very individual and non-standard. You cannot find such ones in chain stores, but on the Sunday market, which takes place on Redonda Square, it’s quite possible to get something like that. Counters literally replete with unique handicrafts, jewelry and accessories. Plus, in this arbitrary market you can find antique dealers and rare souvenirs, which will be an excellent present for relatives and friends.
A similar “establishment” is the El Rastro flea market. It is filled not only with a typical "second-hand" of dubious quality, but also with very practical little things. Antique furniture, household items and clothing of past centuries are presented here. Along with them are exposed accessories, branded, but very ancient jewelry, musical instruments and various trinkets.
Shopping in Valencia: reviews
As it turned out, a significant number of Russian tourists call this Spanish city “a large shopping center,” and there are objective reasons for this. Firstly, this is not the capital and resort of Barcelona. Consequently, pricing policy will be much more acceptable, especially against the background of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Secondly, the reviews of tourists about shopping in Valencia suggest that clothes and shoes here are not only cheaper, but also better, more unique and colorful than in our homeland. In a word - the place is great, and in order to "stock up", and save on new things.
