60 Best Spanish Souvenirs and Spain Themed Gifts to Buy

1. Paella pan
   

   If you’re visiting Valencia, the birthplace of Paella, a paella pan would be a great souvenir to purchase. If you’re wanting to recreate the Spanish food at home in your own kitchen, buying this shallow pan will allow you to stick with the traditional method for doing so.

   Of course, you can buy a paella pan at any cookware shop across Spain but Valencia might be the best place for it since it’s where the famous dish originated. 

2. Paella rice 

   Along with your paella pan, you can also pick up a bag or so of the specific rice needed to make paella. Look for it at local markets. 

3. Flamenco dresses and accessories

   Especially when you’re in Southern Spain you’ll want to see flamenco dancers in action and maybe even join in on the flamenco dancing yourself! The fun doesn’t have to stop there. You can purchase your very own flamenco costume to continue the fun at home. 

4. Flamenco castanets

   No room for a full-sized flamenco outfit in your suitcase? Consider a simple pair of castanets instead to memorialize your experience. 

5. Hand-painted tiles 
   

   Andalucia is well-known for beautiful hand painted tiles, often with floral motifs. These would make a great gift or add a nice flair to any home decor. 

6. Leather goods 

   Andalucia is also a great place to buy supple leather goods. From coin purses, to bigger bags or even shoes you’ll find plentiful leather goods for sale. 

7. Orange Blossom Perfume

   Seville, the capital of Andalucia, is the perfect place to purchase orange blossom perfume as a special gift for a loved one or for yourself! 

8. Orange wine

   The land of oranges, Andalucia, is also where you should sample orange wine and perhaps even bring some home with you. 

9. Spanish sherry

   Produced in Southern Spain, a nice bottle of Spanish sherry is a great souvenir. 

10. Polvoron

    This is a type of shortbread cookie that is often popular during the holiday season. It’s important to note that, while you might not know it from the taste, this cookie is made with pig parts.

    You might find a variety made with margarine or butter instead these days but if you’re not sure then best to avoid if you’re a vegetarian or someone who does not eat pork for religious reasons.

    These are a great purchase if you want your wardrobe to remind you of your time in Spain, or for any fashion forward friends who would love to receive shoes as a gift from your travels.
