I love stores like these. The aesthetic is clean and fun with loads of merchandise you don't…read morenecessarily need but just want. Ale-Hop sells a variety of things from notebooks and pens, to little toys, blankets, backpacks and purses. They have a massage chair that is really nice. You can buy the electronic item which straps on to a chair for less than $40 dollars but why buy when you can just pop into the store and get a free massage. The notebooks have sayings on them that are either in Spanish or English. I opted for the Spanish ones. After all, its something from Spain!

I lived in Granada for a semester in the fall of 2005. It was my first exposure to Zara. I was…read moreattracted to because of their modern business model. Instead of creating a seasonal line of clothing, revealing it, then being stuck with it until the next season, Zara tracks the types of items that are purchased, even the ones that are tried on, and they order more of those. If people are not buying an item, they don't make any more of them. They initially make less stock, so everything feels like a last-of-its-kind find, which can make it frustrating if a particularly cute shirt is not available in your size. I bought a shirt that said 'The Brightest Idea" with a sequined lightbulb, a shirt with a fairytale drawing of a hedgehog, which was semi-transparent in the chestal region, and a pair of jeans. The jeans said they were on sale, but I was charged full price, because the sale tag wasn't supposed to be on them. Bummer. I seek out Zara wherever I find it, because i know their stock is always rolling around, adding new items and fading strange unsellable items into the background. I also like it because it's a business-savvy Spanish company.
