These are the souvenirs that every suitcase should carry at FITUR
After touring the largest tourism fair held in Spain from top to bottom and walking around each of its stands, we have compiled a list of the best (see original, great, rare or geeky) souvenirs to take home. Because, make no mistake, we know that you have the suitcase ready for a week and we want you to fit everything important. Put on comfortable shoes and hit the carpet.
THE BAG: Either you are a bit clueless and you have forgotten your suitcase or you came with the firm (but useless) purpose of not sweeping away everything you see in your path. Don't worry we have found The bag . We have tried many and seen many more. There are cardboard, plastic, cloth or reusable plastic, like the one in CitySightseeing (8A08). He has captivated us with his bright colors , its big size and, above all, for its long handle . Without a doubt, they must be delighting the ladies given to grabbing bowling as if there were no tomorrow.
THE KIT: Who do you love more, mom or dad? Impossible to answer. We are the same. Does the kit Renfe (10C01) with a notebook with built-in pen Lantern and a lock for suitcases ; or the one of booking (10E14) with bag, usb, plug adapter, inflatable pillow and pen ?
The most travel kit
THE POSTER: It is difficult to decide when to see wonderful images of the beach of the Cathedrals, spectacular sunsets in Granadilla de Abora or the imposing wall of Ávila illuminated at night. However, we have not been able to avoid it and our love for meat and national cheeses throws us into the mountains. Therefore, if you have to choose, stay with those of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment , in which they have collected 24 traditional meat products and 26 cheeses from Spain. And the look on your guests' faces when they see those framed posters in the room?
SALT: Taken from Valle Salado, in the **Alava town of Salinas de Añana** (9C06), where it has been produced for thousands of years. Añana salt is considered one of the best in the world and they use it in restaurants with a Michelin Star, such as Martin Berasategui, El Celler de Can Roca, El Club Allard or Mugaritz.
BETWEEN STOVES: On the one hand, we have chosen **the cup and apron from Castilla-La Mancha** (7B08), since it is advisable to prepare well before getting down to work, and, on the other, we have gone to Costa Rica (3A11A) , where after try two typical dishes You can take the recipe home to put it into practice.
THE BOOK: Because man does not live by guides alone, in fitur there are also books that make you want to travel. And a lot. Taking home only one, will only be within the reach of the most rational beings who can leave it on the counter From walking around the city. A walk through Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to awaken your senses, Lucia Martinez . She has captivated us by how she uses the story of three friends to teach us the essentials of Gran Canaria . A point also the illustrations and the careful photography . The second book that we have taken home, we found in the maldives (4E14) and tells through photographs and short and emotional texts the daily life of some tourists on a boat. The best? Its binding: small, on cardboard and printed as a folding brochure.
At FITUR this is the usual picture
THE MAP: Not another thing, but maps you're going to get sick of seeing. What did we like the most? The one with the _Charming corners in the city of Cáceres _ (7B06) . For his size (like a man's wallet) and for his Format (like a little folder that inside contains a map with different routes and explanatory sheets of the places of interest that you will find in each of them).
ACCESSORIES: We have found a hole in our suitcase to the bracelet, the purse, the magnet and the pen that they have given us in Honduras (3C04B). Its design based on local motifs and bright colors has caught our attention.
SEEDS: Yes, those of longevity that are the origin of dragon , a typical shrub of the Canary Islands (9C04) , but which, due to its size, looks like a tree. The Drago of Icod de los Vinos , with an estimated age of 1,000 years, is considered one of the oldest on the planet . Legends say that, having a reddish-colored resin, the locals believed that it was dragon blood.
PHOTOS: You will see many stands where you can take pictures. In Jordan (6B01) , you choose between six landscapes as a background and you are "teleported" there; in Korea (4E10) you photograph yourself with kings and in Costa Rica (3A11A) you can pose next to the typical big heads of rural areas and take the image with you at the moment.
CARDS: In Korea (4E10) you can create your own personalized card with the symbols of love, happiness... The back of the card includes useful phrases . In ours, be happy in blue, love, you can also see a traditional fan used when dancing, a house or a traditional flower.
