Madrid is not only a vibrant city full of history, art, and culture—it’s also the perfect place to discover the finest examples of Spanish craftsmanship and gastronomy. If you’re wondering what to bring home from your stay or looking for a special gift for friends and family, we’ve gathered a selection of top-quality Spanish products that truly represent the soul of our country.
Gourmet souvenirs with the flavor of Spain
Acorn-fed Iberian ham
A timeless classic. Iberian ham, especially the acorn-fed variety, is one of the most appreciated products both in Spain and abroad. Vacuum-sealed packs are easy to carry, and gourmet stores like Enrique Tomás or Joselito’s are must-visits.
Extra virgin olive oil
Often referred to as Spain’s liquid gold, extra virgin olive oil from brands like Castillo de Canena or Finca La Torre makes for a stylish and practical gift to take home and enjoy.
Artisan cheeses
Spain boasts a vast variety of cheeses—from well-known Manchego to goat cheeses from the Sierra de Gredos. Many local shops and markets in Madrid offer perfectly packaged options for travel.
Turrón and traditional sweets
Even outside the Christmas season, traditional Spanish sweets like turrón from Alicante or Jijona, yemas from Santa Teresa, or marzipan from Toledo are delicious souvenirs. You’ll find them in shops like Torrons Vicens or La Mallorquina.
Handcrafted goods and Spanish design
Talavera and Sargadelos ceramics
Traditional Spanish ceramics are known for their vibrant colors and exceptional quality. Talavera pottery and Sargadelos porcelain pieces are unique souvenirs that blend beauty with utility.
Hand-painted fans and shawls
Hand-painted fans and Manila shawls are cultural icons of Spanish heritage. Pick one up at Casa de Diego in Puerta del Sol, where they’ve been made and sold for generations.
Handmade espadrilles
Traditional Spanish espadrilles are comfortable, sustainable, and increasingly trendy. Antigua Casa Crespo is one of Madrid’s oldest shops producing handmade models with charm and history.
