I travel to Granada a few times a year it's only a 3 hr drive away, from Seville. My wife's uncle lives there and he's an avid collector. Always complains about the lack of vintage shops. Every now and then you may run into an antique/pawn shop style local that may have a few things, but rare. In Sevilla there are a few. But unfortunately, I don't know of any in Granada. If you stop at the department store, El Corte Inglés, they may be able to direct you to one, but highly unlikely. If ever in Barcelona you may want to check the Ancienne. Great deal of vintage Rolex, Omegas, AP, Patek and VC Good luck with your hunt.

Stopped into Miguel Munoz Joyeros and had a great and fun watch conversation. The gentleman had two pre owned Rolex in the back that were trade ins. The pre-owned Rolex were not sports models and I wasn’t so familiar with them but really fun to see what he had in the back. You never know. Although not a vintage shop the conversation was great. We talked Patek, Rolex and watch culture generally. He wasn’t just looking to make a sale but took the time to engage.
