La Medina Genova

Genoa


Evoking all the exoticism of far-flung travels to North Africa and beyond, this tiny shop has shelves packed with jars of fragrant spices, nuts, colourful dried fruits, roasted coffee beans and smokey loose-leaf teas. You can also pick up woven shopping bags or Moroccan ceramics here.
