For souvenirs that actually come from Spain, head to Cocol, a beautifully curated shop on Plaza de la Paja in La Latina.
Owner Pepa Entrena travels across the country sourcing artisan pieces from independent and family-run workshops.
The shelves are lined with blown glass, wool blankets, antique esparto baskets, embroidered linens, painted ceramics and hand-sewn leather goods – welcome alternatives to mass-produced chintz.
