Mahou beer.

I would like to bring :

the passion of flamenco
the laid back siesta
I'm sorry I have to be selfish.....The men

You can get good chorizo, coffee, cheese, churros, etc right here in the U.S. - it's the part about these things when they are IN SPAIN that make them so special! I really want everything Spanish to stay in Spain to keep my interest high to return again and again and again. Besides - too many Spanish things brought to this country run the risk of eventually finding a "Mc" in from of their name with a "super size" option for an extra 39 cents! Having said that, here are three things from Spain that I would like to see over here.

1. Paella served in real paella pans
2. more people strolling the boulevards in the early evening to people-watch and socialize.
3. stores, shops and bakeries that wrap your purchase in their own branded fancy paper to make you feel as though your purchase is always something special.

Here's my list:
1) the women
2) Mahou beer
3) the bars with the free tapas when you order a drink and their hours of operation!

1. The Sunshine
2. The Siesta and laid back attitude to life
3. Frutos secos

In exchange for:
1. The variety and cheapness of vegetarian food and the attitude that goes with it.
2. Clearly labeled and cheap animal-free products like toiletries.
3. Cheap voile curtains.

1--Speaking Spanish as it is spoken in Spain all the time.
2--Inexpensive metro fares.
3--Being able to enjoy nice dinners & congenial companionship as the Spaniards do.

Have to agree with the following choices
1) Free aperitivos in bars with your drink
2) Clean, efficient, cheap public transport system
3) Cafe con Leche for 1 Euro.

Plus - the sunshine, the spontaneity and the attitudes toward life in general ...

Great thread!

I agree with everyone who has posted so far...
- apart from that I would like to add:

1. Flamenco
2. Dress sense of Spanish women
3. A decent cup of coffee, no matter where you go

1- Good coffee everywhere!!!
2- Public transportation
3- Terrazas

And of course the food.

The Tascas, of course. I've wished for them here ever since my first trip to Spain decades ago. Utterly unique and always a delight. Still, to support them requires a culture, values and life style that seem totally alien to the USA.
