I know this is a reach, but I told him I'd try!!

My partner needlepoints.

(Try telling him he won't be able to bring his scissors and needles on board for the nine-hour flight! But that's a separate posting....)

Wherever we have travelled in the past, he has been able to find a needlepoint shop that sells printed patterns/canvases, etc. He is usually able to find a great project that ends up being a wonderful souvenir of our travel.

Does anyone know of such a shop in Madrid (or Segovia, Jaen, or Malaga, for that matter)?
