Juncia y Romero, Seville

What to buy here: Religious gifts.

Holy Week is one of the most celebrated holidays of the year in Spain, and Seville’s fame is well-deserved. The streets fill with incense, three-foot long candles and the more than thirty penitent brotherhoods who parade their lifelike floats though the city center. You can take home a token of the city’s most passionate week, ranging from small to large, simple to ornate. Common gifts include rosaries, incense, figurines and robes. Or, pick up a small image or pendant of the most famous saints – Seville’s Virgin Mary is La Virgen de los Reyes and Christ, El Jesús del Gran Poder (he’s also the oldest float still in use!) – or San Fernando, the patron of the city.

Additionally, at many of the churches and chapels, you can pick up pins, keychains and medallions of the famous processions and donate to the church’s upkeep fund. If you’ve ever danced the Macarena, you’ll know that the song was named after Seville’s famous Virgin of the same name, whose procession during the early dawn of Good Friday is among the most popular. Price: varies according to product, from 2,50€ and up.
