I had the chance to travel to Seville (Spain) right before Christmas. The city is the capital of Andalucía (the southern part of the country) and it's famous for its beauty, its flamenco culture, its fantastic food, and lately, as a great place to shop.
Where? The city centre is the place to go. The main streets to shop are Sierpes, Velazquez and Tetuán. To get there, if you arrive via the train station there are several buses that take you there in less than 10 minutes.
What to expect? The shopping streets are buzzing with so many places to go. It is heaven if you like the Inditex stores, Bershka, Pull and Bear, Massimo Dutti and there is practically a Zara on every corner. And, bonus, in Spain these brands are quite affordable (indeed, I felt like I was in paradise)
Other options? There are several H&Ms around the city (one in a shopping centre just a 4 minute walk away from the station), Mango, and again from Inditex, the popular Stradivarius, a shop with a fresh and young boho feel.
And remember: if you are there to buy shoes you will, literally, go bananas...so many shoes, such little credit limit?
