Best Buys For Originality And Value
Buying the famous Lladro Porcelain here is a very smart move, as it is considerably cheaper than back home and the very latest and most complete collections are stocked by the few Official Lladro Agents shops on the island. There is also the pleasure of discovering rare pieces unavailable at home.
El Paraiso in Santa Eulalia is our recommended Lladro specialist.
Absolutely everyone goes home with perfume, cigarettes & cigars, wines and spirits, gold and silver, all of which are cheaper than back home.
The Bodega Ribas in Santa Eulalia is the perfect stop for 'best' price wines and spirits.
Another discovery is the truly amazing price in Spain of the latest, authentic, high-quality range from the international fashion house Lacoste which now also caters for ladies and children. And they've added Lacoste accessories, Bags, Belts, Shoes, Watches etc.
Visit Lacoste in Santa Eulalia and Es Cana.
Don't forget to take home a bottle of tradional Hierbas Ibicencas - Ibiza's number one local liquer.
