Gate area near NAT departures also has a Desigual store
This Desigual sits airside in Alicante’s NAT terminal, past security and on the main departures level. Think bright prints, loud colors, and casual Spanish streetwear rather than business basics. You’ll see it along the central shopping strip between the larger duty free and some snack spots, so it’s easy to swing by on the walk to Schengen and non‑Schengen gates.
Expect mid-range European mall pricing: T‑shirts around €25–35, dresses and shirts typically €50–80, and bags or backpacks running closer to €40–90. Stock leans toward seasonal pieces and statement items rather than plain staples, so this is more “last‑minute outfit” or “fun gift” territory than daily workwear. Kids’ items often come in under €30 if you need a quick present before a Vueling or Ryanair hop.
Selection varies with the season, but you’ll usually find women’s clothes front and center, with men’s and accessories off to the sides. If your cabin bag is already at the 10 kg airline limit, keep an eye on bulkier jackets and shoes that might push you into a bag check at the gate. For smaller accessories, belts, wallets, and crossbody bags are easier to squeeze into a half‑full 55 x 40 x 20 cm carry‑on.
One practical move: snap a photo of the price tag and convert from euros on your phone before queuing for payment. If a piece feels close in price to home, buy it here; if the math looks steep, walk 2–3 minutes back toward duty free and save the space in your hand luggage.
