10 souvenirs to buy during travel to Spain

Saludos desde España! Greetings from Spain.

Spain, the sunniest country in the world, with its plethora of beaches and a rich heritage dating back to the Middle Ages, is one the most leading tourist attractions in the world. With more than 80 million tourist footfall per year, Spain provides a unique experience to all the human senses. However, one does not simply travel to a place and not come back with something to remember it by, later. No matter how much we yearn for, or try to capture, but we simply cannot hold onto the sun, surf, and sand. However, there are things that you can bring back, which are unique to the country. Things that can help keep your memories fresh for a long, long time, even after the holiday is over. Here is a great list of all things Spanish, that you can buy or experience to make your trip a worthy one.

The best place to buy your Abanico would be Puerta del Sol, in the heart of Madrid. You can get a fan for as cheap as 70 euro and also as high as 500 euro. The markets remain open for the most part of the day for your convenience. Owning the Spanish hand fan can ensure your claim to a speck of the Spanish heritage and increases the style quotient all at once.

While wine is more refined, exquisite and occasions appropriate, Cava, the celebratory drink of choice is the Spanish counterpart of Champagne, the liquid gold. Not only do they enjoy a healthy dose of it, but it is also largely exported due to its fine taste and refined quality. A bottle of Cava can cost as cheap as 5 euro and also as costly as a few thousands.

Contrary to popular belief, sherry has a popular base of aficionado among the Spanish. The famous sherry producing regions of El Puerto de Santa Maria, Jerez de la Fontera and Sanlucar de Barrameda, provides excellent tastings in the summer. Bringing a bottle back with you would only extend the taste of that vacation.

However, tourists must be aware of buying fakes from the local vendors and should stick to proper departmental stores and establishments, to reduce the chance of getting duped. Another frequent scam is the tendency to sell no price-tag objects to coerce the tourist to buy at a rate higher. It should always be kept in mind to buy from government authenticated shops and products with proper price tags.

Spain gives you multiple reasons to visit, and we hope you have a great vacation in Spanish.

Happy shopping! Feliz compra!
