Shop Till You Drop
Window shoppers will find Córdoba close to
“heaven on earth” as they stroll along
9de
Julio, Independencia
,
Riviera Indarte
and
other pedestrian-only streets and arcades, past
the beautifully dressed windows of the city's
finest shops.
9 de Julio
reminds us very much
of Calle Florida in Buenos Aires. It is far
smaller and charming, with shade provided by
a leafy canopy as you cross Independencia.
Artecasa
, just off the Plaza San Martín on
Independencia, features works by soon-to-be
discovered as well as fairly well known Córdoba
artists. They will gladly design a custom frame
for anything you select.
Grimoldi Shoes
and
Angelo Paolo Leather
have shops on 9 de
Julio, as does
Ted Lapidus
. You'll recognize
these names from Buenos Aires.
Christian
Dior
has a shop on Riviera Indarte.
You'll find many other fine shops in the area,
several of which are located in the
Via Nueva
arcade, which stretches between Tucumán and
9 de Julio.
Of course, the shopping mall is not unknown
here.
Garden Shopping
, centrally located at
the corner of Ituzaingo and Corrientes, and
Nuevo Centro Shopping
, across from the
Sheraton Hotel at Avenida Duarte Quiros 1400,
house a wide range of fine shops, including the
Falabella department store as well as designer
boutiques (both clothing and housewares),
record shops, book stores and cafés. Córdoba's
Shopping cen-
ters are open
until at least 9
pm during the
week(restau -
rants until mid-
night) and later
during the
weekend.
