Fair trade, fair shopping if you visit Granada

Choosing what products to buy based on their origin, or eating in establishments committed to sustainability, is much more than a decision. It's a way of life. In Granada, local produce - from Alpujarras and other regions - can easily be found in organic shops; there are also businesses with a wide range of products that bear the fair trade stamp. Let's see.

Con-sumo Cuidado

Organic food and fair trade are the strategies of "Con-sumo Cuidado". Specifically, fruit and vegetables grown in Granada vegetable gardens: try its endives, spinach, leeks, romanesco artichokes, cauliflowers, pomegranates… which are always in season. If you are looking for an organic shop in Granada, here you will also find everything related to cosmetics and the care of your baby, in addition to home cleaning. Its product catalogue is extensive

Baobá Pure

The first certified organic perfumery in Andalusia is called Baobá Pure and is located in Granada. It opened its doors in 2008 to some local consumers with a gentle concern for natural well-being. Its selection of products for the body and skin, following ecological and responsible ethics, undergo rigorous quality control processes. They share ideas that you'll remember when you return home.

La Boutique Orgánica

La Boutique Orgánica is the story of two sisters - Jara and Lourdes - and one goal: standardising organic food in the city. Their main objective is to ensure the path food takes from its point of collection to the table is as short possible, therefore favouring local agriculture. Take home a souvenir of Granada in the form of homemade honey, eggs, spices and other produce with guaranteed organic origins.

Al Sur de Granada

The work of the writer Gerald Brenan, friend of Spain, provided the name for a perfect place on the tour where you can buy organic produce in Granada. Located on one of its busiest streets, Calle Elvira, it's perfect for a short stop during a charming walk through the city. Here, you can have breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner until late at night. Fancy some wine? Well, you can have some of that too. Fans of tapas will love this place, as will people looking to become familiar with the region's products. Granada know-how.

La Panadería Ecológica

A result of the union of three bakeries (La Ermita, Soria and Santa Isabel), La Panadería Ecológica, right in the centre of Granada, creates absolutely delicious varieties of bread, homemade sweets, rolls and pastries. And they're traditional too. If you are nearby, you simply have to try the organic breads from the Montes Orientales or Alfacar.

Asociación El Encinar

Responsible consumption, voluntary work and cooperation are also closely connected. Many groups of consumers are concerned about more healthy food habits. La Asociación El Encinar is one of these, and it gathers producers and consumers. Its physical shop is in the popular neighbourhood of El Zaidín. In it, you can purchase local, fresh fruit from the nearby countryside. Organic beer tasting sessions are one of the many activities organised.

The eco-shop concept is here to stay. In this case, on Calle Varela in Granada, you can fill your daily shopping basket while also staying up-to-date with all the latest news in dietary concerns, cosmetics and natural health.
