Cosas Preciosas

From the name alone, you’d expect this florist to be a beautiful, Spanish inspired premises; especially when you take into consideration that the name means ‘precious things’. Unfortunately, Cosas Preciosas isn’t as special as it makes out to be, and the exterior of the store looks as though it hasn’t had a lick of fresh paint in several years; not very aesthetically enticing.
Inside, you are bombarded with plants. It’s a little overwhelming, because you literally cannot move without knocking something over or having to duck under something. It’s very messy and very dark inside, which makes the shop difficult to explore. Additionally, I couldn’t really find anything that pointed out this place as a florist; to me, it looked as though it simply sold plants. I couldn’t see any freshly arranged flowers, or any bunches at all, which I found a little strange.
Outside is probably the best part of the shop, because it is littered with garden plants such a marigolds and pansies. For any keen gardeners, there’s a great selection to look at, and the prices are cheaper than your standard garden centres.
There’s also a café within this tiny complex. It was closed at the time I was visiting (3pm), so I’m not sure if they open this section at the moment.
