The Alcaicería was the Nasrid silk market. A fire destroyed most of it in 1843, and the lanes you walk now are a rebuilt version in the same style. Today the stalls sell crafts, marquetry and souvenirs. The lanes open onto Plaza Bib-Rambla, a wide square with a fountain and flower stands, and onto Zacatín, an old trading street that runs on to Plaza Nueva.
What to look for
- Rebuilt Nasrid-style lanes
- Marquetry and ceramics stalls
- Fountain and flower stalls in Plaza Bib-Rambla
- Zacatín street toward Plaza Nueva
