Even though in the last few years the prices have gone up in the whole of the Czech Republic, there are still at an acceptable level for the European pocket. Even if Prague isn´t a regular destination for shopping, it is an ideal place to stock up with handmade products (like its exquisite Bohemian glass) at a more reasonable price. The traveller who is in Prague cannot miss out on going up the steep steps of its castle or walking around the Charles Bridge or enjoying the sun (if it´s in season and he´s able to) on the shores of the Vltava river, so majestic that it was worthy of the famous and beautiful homonymous composition by Smetana (in the poem ´My land´), but cannot leave the city without purchasing one of the beautiful wooden puppets. At Loutky they have these puppets (which aren´t toys for children but rather collectors items) of all types and at all prices. Even though the classic ones or old ones, representing demons or witches, are priced over 500 euros, there are more affordable models for only 20 or 30 euros. They have beautiful designs of Pinocchio or the ones labelled strange. The puppet theatres are very popular around the Czech Republic and you can start one yourself in your apartments in Prague with the ones designed by...

Associated to essential complements for festive folkloric costumes (like the gypsy one in Andalucía, the maja in Madrid or the fallera in Valencia), the fan has, also, a practical use which doesn´t diminish the beauty of some pieces. Continuing this century old tradition of the Spanish fan, the Carbonell house in Valencia makes by hand and, in some cases, uses precious wonderful wood, to make classic pieces which cannot be left out of any woman´s wardrobe. Although they have a good webpage where they sell online, because we´re in the 2.0 era, the best thing to do is to drop by their shop and admire on the spot the different models that they have on sale. Also, the company works on restoring old pieces which are offered as collectors objects. You can´t miss one made of tortoise shell form the early part of the 20th century which can delight any fashion fan, because you cannot make objects with this material anymore. If you´re travelling in this Mediterranean city, you should leave your luggage in any of the apartments in Valencia that you´ve booked and, straight away, go for a walk around its shops. In this guide, we show you the most interesting...

One of the pleasures of travelling, at least for the feminine part of the planet, is concentrated in shopping, in those small or big details that we like to take back home. The visit to any city can be an excuse to get to know its rich artistic patrimony or its delicious gastronomy, and we can´t forget relaxing and doing sport. But other pleasures that we find when we travel is being able to purchase different objects (hopefully crafts) that we wouldn´t find anywhere else. In this guide we´ve already pointed out some shops that provide Venetian masks or a factory that makes Murano glass. Today we´re going to talk about Gloria Astolfo, a Venetian who offers the international public a visit to St Marco´s Square and see pieces of high jewellery with colourful stones. The jewels of Gloria Astolfo aren´t for discreet people because the designer uses all the colours from the rainbow to make necklaces, bracelets or rings which are quite striking (like the ones in the photo), suitable to show them off in any occasion. So, now you know, just as you get to your apartments in Venice leave your luggage, the City of the Canals awaits you with many...
