Not strictly from Sevilla, but from nearby Cadiz area, buy Sherry. One of the world's great drinks and very underated and good value.<BR><BR>The classic purchase might be "Tio Pepe", though you may prefer the slighly lighter Manzanilla, "La Gitana" - both very dry. If sweet drinks are your thing, you can do no wrong with the awesome "Noe" or "Apostoles".

For want to buy,<BR>I purchase ceramics and tiles in Seville. You might want to look at the following in the Triana district, across the Guadalquivir:<BR><BR>"Cer‡mica Santa Ana" <BR>(San Jorge 31-Plaza del Callao), Sells replicas of 16th c designs. <BR><BR>"Cer‡micas Roc’o"<BR>(Antillano 8)<BR> <BR>"Santa Isabel" <BR>(Alfarer’a 12- the potters' st.)<BR><BR>"Cer‡mica Isabel Ruiz"-hunting motifs<BR>(San Jorge 27)<BR><BR>Or these 2 shops on pedestrian Sierpes, downtown, which are much more tourist-oriented.<BR> "Sevillarte" for flowery, pastel, feminine designs<BR>(Sierpes 66) <BR>"Martian" <BR>(Sierpes 74) <BR><BR>Also on Sierpes, "Casa Rubio" sells typical ladies' fans and "Maquedano", those famous Cordoban hats. And gorgeous but expensvie silk shawls/mantillas at "Foronda".<BR><BR>And besides sherry from Jerez or manzanilla from Sanlucar, which are available most everywhere, there are terrific olive oils that you can buy in nice gift bottles/boxes. Try<BR>"La Tienda del Aceite" <BR>(Calle Garc’a de Vinuesa 31)<BR><BR>The "Club del Gourmet" in all the El Corte Ingles stores, including the one in Sevilla, sells specialty food products from Andalucia.<BR><BR>If you are into fragrances, there's the<BR>jasmine scented "Agua de Sevilla", or these 3: "Carmen", "Abril", or "Victorio y Lucchino" by Victorio y Lucchino, the Seville fashion designers-buy at any perfumer’a.<BR><BR>Happy shopping!<BR><BR>
