Spanish wines are also very recommended as souvenirs. Spanish wine is excellent quality, comes in a wide variety of flavours and above all, is dirt-cheap! If you live outside of the European Union there are probably restrictions on the amount of wine you may import into your country, but luckily for the Europeans, there is free traffic of persons and goods :)… Which means that there are people who have taken 6 bottles of wine home in their backpack, wrapped in their snowboard socks (don't ask).
Further, you can get very nice ceramics in Spain, especially those regions that have been heavily influenced by the Mores. The tiles that you can find on the walls of typical houses, outdoor as well as indoors come in many different patterns and colors. Little tables inlayed with ceramics, decorative plates, vases and ornaments are readily available everywhere. But you can't mention Spanish ceramics without mentioning the famous Lladro art. The factory is located in Valencia but you can find the beautiful figurines in the big department store El Corte Ingles or dedicated stores in the main cities. They come with a guarantee for life but I'd still recommend to be very careful with them and take them in your hand luggage.
