I am in Málaga/ Spain. Typical stuff here could be
  • different sorts of wine (vino dulce, tinto, miscatel etc)
  • jamón serrano, chorrizo
  • all types of olives, olive oil
Etc etc
  • these special wine bottles from the countrysite are really an item You could trade
  • special clothing, hats from the region etc
Do You think of items like those?
Teresa's absolutely amazing, I don't drink but I know people that do a bottle of wine with the proper research would be really cool. I'm currently unable to purchase small items at the moment.

Yes clothing is something I would start out with. Hats are great. Málaga ...ughh this site of there places make the US look so dull. Funny how place in FL beaches try to recreate this vibe and fail. The history your around must be overwhelming...
