What can I bring home from Spain?

Spain is a vibrant country that includes many of the top travel destinations in the world. Visitors often visit the different destinations in Spain to experience the ancient historic sites, stunning architecture, and beautiful beaches, but Spain also has some of the most distinctive souvenirs. From uniquely colored wine to vessels to drink it from, and guitars that have been specially handcrafted for the last 100 years, Spain offers numerous opportunities for one-of-a-kind gifts and mementos to remember your visit. So what can you bring home from Spain?

Flamenco guitars. The Conde family are master guitar craftsmen who have been creating instruments for over a century in Spain. Though flamenco guitars are on the pricey side, they’re a lifelong investment and a piece of music history that will also forever remind you of your special trip. Such legends as Paco de Lucía, Cat Stevens, and Bob Dylan have purchased guitars from Felipe Conde.

Wineskin. A bota, or wineskin, is a traditional drinking vessel in Spain. Though mostly used for wine, a bota can hold any beverage. Traditional wineskins were lined with animal bladders and resins were used to prevent the liquid from seeping through, but modern bota bags have a plastic liner and nozzle. Botas are easy to pack and make a wonderful gift that represents your travels and a longheld Spanish tradition.

Blue wine. The first blue wine in the world was launched in 2016 by a Spanish company. Though it shook up the traditional wine industry, it quickly became a popular wine choice. The wine is made from a combination of red and white grapes with natural flavors and pigments, and it’s available in wine shops and restaurants all over the country so you can easily shop for this unique souvenir to take home with you.

Flamenco clothing. Spain is home to flamenco, the passionate and captivating dance style, so it’s the best place to purchase a flamenco dress, shawl, accessories, or shoes. You can splurge on a full, genuine costume, or take home some castanets, a type of shell that flamenco dancers use as a percussion instrument during dances. Only in Spain can you find the quality and unique design of the accessories for this fiery and dynamic art form.

Jamón. Jamón, or ham, is a popular tapas menu item throughout Spain which is generally served in the cured varieties of Serrano and Ibérico. You can find it in any bar or restaurant, and you may even see a full ham leg hanging out in the open that allows waiters to easily slice off strips. You can take home packets of quality jamón or even a full leg, and the best ham comes from black Iberian pigs that wander the oak forests and are fed a diet of acorns.

Abanicos. The Spanish fan, or abanico, is a popular souvenir that celebrates Spanish culture. Many traditional Spanish dances use the abanico as a prop, and you can find fans in a variety of colors and styles, all with a range of elaborate and beautiful designs for a unique gift. Fans can be used as they were intended to cool yourself off at outdoor events or for home decór that is easy to change and update.

Bullfighting poster. Bullfighting is a strong part of Spain’s history and culture. Many tourists use a trip to Spain as an opportunity to witness a live bullfight in one of the many bullrings, and there’s no better way to remember the experience than with one of the promotional bullfighting posters you can find in the street. Posters are budget-friendly, easy to pack, and bring a long tradition of Spain back to your friends and family.

Spanish pottery. Spanish pottery and ceramics make great souvenirs, especially for family members or your own home décor. Many of the ceramics and pottery items you’ll find in Spain are handcrafted by local sellers, so you can take home a truly one-of-a-kind gift. You can find cups, mugs, bowls, plates, and decorative pieces that fit your style to infuse your home with a little Spanish culture and a memento of your trip.

Toy toro plush. Stuffed animals are always a popular souvenir option. In Spain, the bull (toro) is a highly prized symbol and is often featured in artwork and crafts. You can find an array of adorable toro plush toys that are great for kids and adults alike. Best of all, this is a gift that uniquely represents Spanish culture and history, so you’re unlikely to find toro plush toys quite like these anywhere else.
