The Best Design Shops in Valencia: Self-Guided Walk, Valencia, Spain
This guide features my selection of the best shops in the form of a self-guided walk that you can take in a couple of hours.
This self-guided walk starts in the old town area in Valencia and moves on to the cool district of Ruzafa.
The historic district in Valencia is charming and has its own artistic feel that you notice right away. It has some great architecture too.
Our easy to find starting point is the Quart Towers, a famous local landmark. From there, start walking the street called C/ de Quart and you’ll soon reach the first stop.
I loved the colourful printed illustrations. You can find them on a range of products, such as bags, cushions, ceramics, art prints, postcards, and much more.
Owned by a Valencian-Dutch interior designer, this shop is strikingly elegant, dominated by muted colours that immediately make you feel calm. I especially liked the unique lampshades.
It’s got vibrant 1950s vibes with a tastefully curated collection. It’s crammed with retro and vintage items, such as lamps, furniture, bags, clocks, and lots more.
I’m really into mid-century modern design, so I’m glad I came across this shop while strolling around the old town. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
