What is a good hostess gift to take to a woman in Granada Spain?

My daughter leaves in 2 days for Spain on a semester abroad. What is a good gift to take to the woman she will live with for three months? We live in Wisconsin and can't take cheese!

    Spain is a country with people that love cheese. If you can find one that is vacuum packed, or tinned and sealed, it would be fine to bring.

    Other than that, any local product that can be carried in your suitcase would be fine. A friend came to a wedding in may and brought beef jerky with him! and everyone in the family loved it. Don't bring sausages... We have Oscar Meyer over here, and even Johnsonville Brats (they are fairly new here, I've been able to buy them for about six months)

    The book on your state is also an excellent idea, and a DVD would also be good (but check that it's acceptable on the european systems). A nice large calendar with pretty scenic views of your state is also a nice gift

    Any handcrafted item made locally would also be a good choice. There are a lot of things typically american not known outside the country, such as Concord grape jelly or apple butter. I've never found those anywhere in Europe. As to candy or chocolates... Most are internationally known/made so don't bother with Snickers, Mars bars, etc. But special things like the halloween caramel corn, and others such as tootsie rolls, Charleston Chews (or a box of Andes Candies) are typically american and as yet not sold outside the country.

    Hope your daughtr enjoys her visit! Granada is a beautiful city and the Alhambra is magnificent!.

    the idea of a good pics book of your home state is rather good. Wisconsin is one of these places that we do not know much about.

    Anyway, Spaniards are fond of food -your daughter will discover that. I understand the problem with cheese but we like it a lot and have plenty of different kinds of cheese. Maybe some sweets like kringles or chocolates..., we are crazy about chocolates and we have plenty too but taste will differ. Take that example: One of the first things we can do in Salzburg is to buy a box of "Mozart" chocolates which, by the way, are delicious. Or to think about Vienna includes to think about their incredible cakes. We certainly love food!

    I am sure your daughter will have the time of her life! (and not only for the food but dances, music, people, the beauty of Granada...)
