Secret Nuns Cookies. This is an odd one! Find your way to the convent. Ring the doorbell for Venta de Dulces, get buzzed in the door, follow the sign to "torno" and order a box of "dulces". The nuns bake and sell cookies through a turnstile. Place your cash money on the turnstile and collect your box of cookies. You won't be in close contact with the nun.

Jamón y Queso. Jamón Serrano or "de Bellota" is Spanish cured ham. Queso is cheese - the best kind is Queso Manchego Curado. When you're at the Alvarez delicatessen store at Mercado de la Paz, just grab 100-200g of the top quality ham e.g. Bellota Cinco Jotas. They also have some of the best Queso Manchego of course. So feel free to buy some of that also. Remember to send regards from me (Sebastian) to Jose and Jose! The Mercado de la Paz is just a 5 min walk from the apartment.
