Primarily clothes and gift items, with the unmistakable stamp of Uncle Walt. It's difficult to resist entering and even harder to leave without buying any of the thousands of items sold. From mugs at 1,000 pesetas, jewellery boxes for 6,000 pesetas, stuffed animals starting at 800 pesetas, keychains, T-shirts, costumes, swimsuits, towels, children's underwear, sneakers, hats, pencils, pencil cases, books, videos, albums. The color will attract you like a magnet, so if you don't want to entertain yourself too long here, it's probably better to use one of the other entrances to the mall. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sanctuary for percussion lovers |
Calle Estrasburgo 4-1 Seville 41012 Spain +34 95 423 8719 |
This is one of the few shops in Seville specialized in percussion. The owner, Juan de la Oliva, a specialist that has been the drummer for various Canal Sur Television programs, has made this store into not only a place to buy instruments but also a sanctuary for those that, like him, live percussion as a way of life. If you are also one of those that makes music out of a dry beat, here you will find from a Mario Cortés Flamenco beat box to an extensive selection of Egyptian, African, and Turkish percussion instruments. In addition, there is extensive bibliographic material about percussion and drumming at your disposition. So if you want to learn, just ask for the formative material that they have.
