It's pretty much the closest you'll get to Spain without having to be frisked by SeaTac security workers: There's music, food, cookware, flags, wine and even a deli serving up snacks with Spanish cheese, sausage and ham.

The Spanish Table has the mother lode of paella pans (and ingredients) and accompanying gas rings, whether you're cooking for 10 or 100. The selection of hand-painted pitchers and pots beg for counter space in your kitchen, where they can be admired in their colorful glory.

And to put Corning to shame, there's a cache of glazed terracotta cazuelas that are perfectly content on the stove top, in the oven or stashed in the fridge. They're cheap, they're attractive, and when you give them as a gift, the recipient doesn't mentally flag them for his or her next garage sale.

TIP: A bit perplexed about how to buy Spanish wine? Come by for the free weekly tasting from 2-5 p.m. on Saturdays.
