Almacenes del Pilar review Rate it
An array of fabrics and accessories for traditional Spanish costumes is on display in this colourful, shambolic interior, dating all the way back to 1886. Making your way through bolts of material, you'll find the richly hued brocades used for Valencian fallera outfits and other rudiments of folkloric dress from various parts of the country. Lace mantillas, and the high combs over which they are worn, are stocked, along with fringed, hand-embroidered pure silk mantones de manila (shawls) and colourful wooden fans.
