6. Capas Seseña

Founded in 1901, Capas Seseña has successfully connected the Spanish Golden Age – the period from 1492 to 1659 when art and culture flourished alongside great artists such as Velázquez and Cervantes – with the latest trends in fashion. Their capes have been worn by people from Picasso to Ava Gardner, Hemingway, Michael Jackson and, most recently, Jeff Bezos, who visited the historic shop on Calle Cruz in the old town.

7. La Oficial

Five years ago, Toni Torrecillas and Jose Barrio decided to bring the system of selling ceramics by weight – which they had first encountered in Portugal – to Spain. Today, they have a shop in the picturesque La Latina district and another in Las Salesas. La Oficial sells works by Portuguese artisans and from long-standing Spanish pottery destinations such as Granada, Córdoba, Seville, Níjar and La Bisbal at affordable prices.
