To get a feel of local everyday life, one must visit a local market like the Mercado San Agustin in Granada. It is a very busy street market which spreads across more than two blocks. Shoppers get fresh vegetables, fish, meat and all kinds of fruits at this market. This place is also great if you wish to catch a quick snack or a meal. The streets on either side are packed with various kinds of shops and food stalls, as well.
This network of narrow streets laid out in a grid was originally built as an Arab bazaar where raw silk was bought and sold. Mule trains brought the raw material and silk garments down from the mountainous Alpujarras where the silk worms fed on mulberry leaves. The producers often stayed overnight in the nearby Corral del Carbón (Moorish Inn) before taking their wares to market. The market burned down in 1843 and was rebuilt two years later maintaining all the original features like the horseshoe arches and the typical Moorish-style twin windows. It's still a market of sorts although it's mainly tourist souvenirs and knick-knacks for sale.

Luxusmode von der Stange - mit dieser Vision war Achille Maramotti seiner Zeit voraus. In den 1950er-Jahren, als Fashion Victims noch auf persönliche Schneider angewiesen waren, gründete der Unternehmer eine Marke, die hochwertige Damenmode in Massenproduktion herstellte. Mit präzisen Schnitte, klaren Farben und erstklassigen Materialien hat 'Max Mara' es bis an die Spitze der italienischen Modelandschaft geschafft. Das Symbol des Hauses ist der '101801', ein zweireihiger Kaschmirmantel aus den 1980er-Jahren, der bis heute in den weltweit vertretenen Filialen verkauft wird.
