Detailed introduction

Cosmetic, perfume and skin care products

Perfumeria Gal

I feel that the outer appearance of this lip balm is not very textured, and the fragrance is very strong, and it is Very sticky Vaseline base, overall quite cheap and not of high value. (The same applies to lambskin coin purses, not recommended)

ENDOCARE

A cosmeceutical brand developed by Spanish medical authorities. It is famous for its SCA snail repair factor, which has a strong repair function. It can be used to activate cells. I recommend their eye cream and facial cream, which are very effective in removing wrinkles!

Affordable Clothes, Shoes and Bags

Desigual

The colorful design style is very suitable for the sunshine personality For those who are unrestrained, the material feels much better than ZARA. It is highly recommended for young women to buy, and it is the first choice to wear for vacations and street photography.

ZARA

A representative brand of fast fashion that requires almost no explanation. Compared with domestic brands, the price difference is astonishing.

Uterqüe

It is not a brand that many people know, but it is actually a high-end product of the ZARA Group. The fabric feels much better than the Z brand. I highly recommend this brand when visiting Spain.

Mango

The overall design is very suitable for urban working women. You can buy a shirt at a special price for ten euros.

Bimba y Lola

An emerging designer brand founded by two sisters. It has a bold and creative style. It is currently a fashion brand that is very popular among European women.

Adolfo Domínguez

This is one of the most representative designer brands in contemporary Spain. If you want to highlight your own clothing taste, you can start here and return to China after studying in Paris. The AD design is rich in texture, but the price is also relatively high.

Camper

It is a practical shoe brand that is comfortable and easy to wear. The design style is relatively rough and it is recommended for leisure and outing occasions.

Pretty Ballerinas

Spain’s famous flat ballet shoes are actually similar to the French Repotto. The biggest difference is that Repotto uses a small ribbon bow, while PB has an eye-catching rough braided bow. , just choose the style you like.

Lepanto

Almost everyone recommends the Madrid lambskin coin purse. Personally, I think the feel and workmanship are rough. The only advantage is that it comes in many colors and is cheap (you can buy it for 10 euros). ), but other than that, the quality is not good enough and the practicality is low. It is recommended to think twice before buying.

Tou s

Praised by the royal family, it is an affordable jewelry with bears as the main theme and a very sweet and cute style. Because it is not expensive and the packaging and jewelry are very beautiful, it is a free gift. The first choice for young women and girlfriends!

Famous top luxury goods

Loewe

Currently The Spanish Royal leather goods brand has been acquired by LVMH. Its signature is the very soft Puzzle (recommended special color matching bag) and unique shape. The Barcelona arrow bag was very popular a while ago.

LUPO

A fully handmade bag brand. Most of the design concepts are derived from the genius architect Gaudi. It is flamboyant but not exaggerated. It is super fashionable! Worth buying, take it with you and others. The taste gap is immediately clear.

Lottusse

Giorgio Leather Shoes is a well-known Spanish leather shoe manufacturer with a long history. Friends who think British leather shoes are too solemn and Italian leather shoes are too light can choose it.

Carmina

It can be called the best handmade leather shoes in Spain, but in fact, I think the finished product is not as fine as Italy and France, and is more suitable for casual use.

Ll ADRO

The porcelain is exquisitely crafted and can be called a Spanish national treasure. If you want to buy it, please use international shipping. After all, it is too risky to carry it home from Spain.

Alcohol

Because alcohol is generally quite heavy, and most of it can be purchased in China, here are some special wines that must be drunk in Spain. Go to a local bar or restaurant You can click here to experience the local customs. The picture shows Sangria in "Cachitos" in Barcelona.

Red wine

The general characteristics of Spanish wine are that they are quite lively and have a romantic artistic atmosphere. Compared with the elegant French wine, they have a unique style and are very suitable for drinking on the go! In addition, It is worth mentioning that Vega Sicilia Winery, located in the Ribera del Duero district, is considered a representative winery in Spain. It is also considered the only "national treasure" wine king in Spain that can compete with France. It is much cheaper to buy it in the place of origin.

Sherry

A fortified wine originating from Spain. It is made by adding brandy after fermenting white grapes. It has a rich and charming taste. Like champagne, it is only specific to Andalusia. The wine brewed in the production area can be called sherry, and it is suitable as an appetizer or dessert wine.

Sangria fruit wine

Sangria is Spain’s national drink. It is a cocktail based on red wine, topped with various fruits, ice cubes and sugar. It can be paired with any dish or snack, and it’s super delicious! But this kind of wine needs to be mixed and drunk right away, so please don’t buy the canned version in the supermarket. The taste is just...

When traveling, look for There is a good restaurant with a sommelier. Being guided by a dedicated person and tasting the authentic wine and food is the happiest thing during the trip! The Michelin-starred restaurant "Windsor" is quite authentic and insists on choosing local ingredients from ingredients to wine selection. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. Not only does it taste great, it is also a gathering place for many celebrities. It is light and elegant, and you can also meet movie stars and football stars.

Olive products

Many people know that Italian olive oil is very good, but in fact Spain is the country with the largest output and the most stable quality in the world (there are frequent incidents of fake oil in Italy, which is unacceptable) (accidentally), if you are interested in olive products, don’t miss the high-quality olives from Spain.

Ines Rosales

Olive oil biscuits, ?2.5 per pack.

Although the green rosemary flavor is simply baked with olive oil and flour, it is mellow but not greasy, crispy and refreshing. It is a quite delicious snack and can be bought in Spanish supermarkets. Because the cake is large, thin and fragile, it is not recommended to take it back, just eat it locally.

2019 Spain Travel Shopping Must-Buy List

La Chinata

This brand of castile soap (from ?2.95), but I personally think you have to come all the way to buy it. The soap is a pity. I highly recommend their balsamic vinegar (2.5 euros) and virgin olive oil (about 4 to 6 euros a bottle), which are perfect with salads.

Oleum Vitae

Oleum Vitae is an olive oil brand produced in the Serrana region of Valencia. It features many different flavored olive oils. The mini multi-flavor gift box is a very special gift, among which Orange and saffron (Naranja Y Azafran), Tomate Raf, and Cebol Lino are good flavors.

Dominus

The high-quality virgin olive oil that won the gold medal in 2013 and 2018 is reasonably priced (?14.85). Don’t miss it if you see it in the supermarket.

Finca La Torre

The organic olive oil using natural power farming methods is well-known and characterized by its soft aroma. ?15.5 per bottle.

Olive wood products

You can see them everywhere in the market. The material is natural and the price is very cheap compared with domestic prices. You can choose the style with pleasing texture to buy. Remember to compare prices and use the pictures to decorate. Take the small board used to seal fruits in oil as an example, 10-15 euros is considered a reasonable range.

Prosciutto

Personally, I think prosciutto is the most important player that represents the Spanish food culture. You don’t have to drink tea or eat chocolate when you come to Spain, but if you don’t try the top quality prosciutto, That's such a pity!

Museo del Jamón

The Ham Museum - a "must-eat restaurant" written down by almost all Spanish travel books, although you can get it here for one euro You can eat quite a lot of raw ham, but rather than chasing cheap prices, you should pursue quality. Hams can basically be divided into two categories: Serrano (ordinary white pork leg) and Iberico (Iberico black pork leg). Please choose the Iberico model for your budget. Friends, please order Iberico de Bellota, which is the highest grade and has the best taste. You can eat top-quality meat for less than 15 euros. Why not give it a try?

Note: European pigs are based on Humane issues do not involve bloodletting like in Taiwan, so the taste is very wild (to put it bluntly, it has a strong smell). The fishy smell of lower-quality pig breeds is very strong, which is usually not suitable for our appetite.

Cinco Jotas 5J

──This is the top black label brand of Sánchez Romero Carvajal and the oldest Iberian ham manufacturer in the designated production area of ??Jabugo. Only sea salt is used as the only additive besides ham, and no additional spices or smoke are used to achieve the purest original flavor of ham.

There are many Cinco Jotas stores, but it is best to buy ones that are hand-cut and packaged by cutters as shown below. You can best taste the delicate oily flowers in the meat (price is calculated based on weight, part, and cutting method. Basically It’s best to prepare a budget of ￥30 for your last purchase). Next to the ham is the fig chocolate that I think is very good, costing ￥29 per box.

Joselito

Joselito——a brand that has rapidly expanded its world-renowned reputation since being spotted by French celebrity chef Jo?l Robuchon because it insists on letting pigs eat Old acorns are used and the raising time is increased, so the ham produced has a very mellow flavor and is loved by famous chefs and royal families.

Compared with 5J, it will have richer fragrance changes, and it can be used in a wider and better range of dishes. It fully mixes art and human technology. It is rarely sold individually, and most of them sell whole legs. (If it is occasionally retailed in department stores, the price is slightly more expensive than 5J), it is recommended to eat it in a restaurant!

Chocolate

There are many chocolate brands in Spain, but the only one I think is worth buying is ENRIC ROVIRA and fig chocolate.

BLANXART

It is full and quite solid but the aroma and texture are not very good. Each piece is about 3 to 5 euros.

VALOR

The chocolatier, who has countless branches across Spain, feels that liquid hot cocoa tastes better than chocolate bricks.

Chocolates Amatller

Because Mucha's illustrations are used as the outer packaging, it sells very well. This chocolate brand can be seen in major tourist attractions, but its taste is very ordinary. Not very impressive.

ENRIC ROVIRA

This is a brand created by a talented chocolatier in Barcelona. It is sweeter, but much more delicate than the above two. The most interesting feature is that the chocolate bricks are embossed. It adopts the unique local floor tile shape, and the unit price is 2 to 3 euros more expensive than the three brands above.

Rabito Royale

A snack ball made of dried whole figs and covered in chocolate syrup. It is delicious, juicy and very Spanish. It is recommended for friends who like chocolate and fruits to buy it. , the unit price is relatively expensive, a box costs 30 euros, but it is worth it!

Others

Azafrán saffron

One of the most expensive and rare spices in the world , the low-priced seasoning powder sold in supermarkets is usually just "saffron" synthesized from other spices. Its fineness is difficult to compare with the genuine product, but it is still good for trying out! (Seafood stew sold in ordinary stores Rice is usually made from this powder).

As for the real saffron powder and stamens, please go to the British Palace Department Store, or order directly from the place of origin. They have services that can be sent to the hotel. Mancha in central Spain is the top saffron. In the flower production area, there are brands with blue and purple production area stickers and DOP certification, such as HEA CO, La Rosera, and Carmencita. The quality is very good, but of course, it is very expensive, starting from 18 euros for 1.5 g.

Lateterazul herbal tea, Alma organic tea

Don’t buy Hornimans tea when you come to Spain. They are just consumable teas that ordinary people drink as boiling water, and they have modified their signature products The formula of the honey chrysanthemum tea has become quite heavy in flavor and the overall quality is not as good as before. I have come all the way to Spain, so of course I should drink a brand with better taste!

Lateterazul herbal tea is from a Spanish laboratory The high-quality tea developed and produced by the authoritative Pharmadus has only 18 flavors in order to retain the best taste, and is packaged in pyramids that will not harm the tea leaves. It is a common welcome gift in five-star hotels in Spain, priced at 7 to 10 euros per box.

Alma is a brand founded by two brothers in 2010. Although it has a short history, its novel packaging and insistence on high quality have made it quickly popular. It is easily available in supermarkets under the British Tailor Department Store. Yes, their tea insists on using organic tea leaves that have been certified by the European Union, and they also use pyramid tea bags. They are quite decent and beautiful for personal use or as gifts. They are highly recommended. Each box is about 6 to 8 euros.

Caviar Nacarii caviar

Sturgeon caviar is cultivated using pure water sources in the Arán Valley of the Pyrenees Mountains. It is regarded as one of the delicacies by gourmets. , friends who want to try a mouthful of gold can eat it in the restaurant.

Turrón Nougat

Spain’s characteristic traditional pastries are sold in supermarkets and markets. They come in different flavors. You can choose what you like and try it out. You don’t need to buy too much. If you buy it, you can buy a big bag for ?5.

Gaudi's architectural features

If you come to Barcelona, ??the architectural city favored by the genius Gaudi, then you must visit the Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera. , Casa Batlló and other amazing buildings, there are several unique items worth buying.

Barcelona City Bricks

As mentioned before when introducing chocolate, Barcelona is not only unique in its architecture, but also has carefully designed patterns. This colored brick can not only be used as Indoor styling, it can also be used as a coaster!

Brick pattern tie

This is a tie made using the same concept. It is low-key and textured, and is very suitable for men!

The ground pepper shaker, borrowed from the shape of the chimney of Casa Batlló, is full of design and is a classic must-buy that takes into account both fashionable taste and sightseeing souvenir.
