Check out what's in the Spain Box!
First up is some Paprika. Paprika is a key ingredient in a lot of great Spain-ish (hehe) dishes like paella- yum!
How cute is the tin it comes in? The company, El Avion (Meaning "The Airplane" ??) packages the Paprika in collectible vintage tins. I love the tin I got. It's perfect!
Any ideas for how to use it after the Paprika is gone? Store another spice? I thought maybe you could make it a magnet and put it on the fridge and it could hold things like pens or something? Sometimes I wish there was a pen handy in my kitchen, especially if you have a paper list or something on the fridge you write on. Just a random, easy, DIY idea. What can you think of!?
$6.50 in the Try The World Shop will get you another 2.64 ounce tin of this Paprika.
Spain Box Value Running Total: $6.50

A family business churns out these cortadillos. A cortadillo is a traditional Spanish pastry with lemon and cinnamon and filled with a cider cream. This business makes their crumb cakes by hand using a traditional recipe that is over 100 years old!
For $8.50 in the Try The World Shop you can get a box of 6, which is twice as many as you get in the package that came in the Spain Box.

Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Córdoba region of Spain.
You can purchase a 500ml bottle, which is 4 times the size of the one in the box in the Try The World Shop for $23. So proportionally, I'm valuing this bottle at 1/4 of $23 which is about $5.75.

I about flipped when I saw this spread in the box because I had JUST watched Youtuber Kristen Sarah mention this in one of her EuroTrip 2016 videos from Spain!
She showed that it is traditional Catalonian style to rub the toasted bread with garlic, then tomato, then drizzle with olive oil.
So that is what this jar is all about!

_Of course we don't want to forget the Culture Guide which includes a 10 song play list, 2 recipes, and a card game for you to play during your own Spanish Tapas Party!
Try The World let's you discover the world through boxes that come once every two months and feature a new country. Each box will include 7-8 gourmet items curated by great chefs so you can get a taste of that country's culture and various regions.
You can Pause or Cancel at any time and there are 3 subscription options.
You can pay every 2 months so each box is $39
You can pay every 6 months so each box is $35
You can pay every 12 months so each box is $33
I think the Spain box is an okay value. If you bought it on it's own, you paid $39 and free shipping, and the value of the items is ~ $38.35. Additionally you get the culture guide which doesn't have a price value, but it is valuable information prepared for your enjoyment and enlightenment on quality paper, so that should count for something.
Nevertheless, I think we all want to see the "retail value" of a subscription box be significantly more than what we paid for the box. I'm not saying that's fair, but it's definitely what we want.
That being said, you can get a free box, which is quite a nice value! ;)
And you can cancel or pause at any time which is a crucial detail.
If it's in your budget, I think this box is so fun. Especially if you're into food and i you like hosting theme nights. It's also a great gift for someone, saving you the work of picking things out, explaining them, packaging and so on.
Thanks for stopping by to check out my Spain box. Did you get the Spain Box? What did you think? Do you think this its a great value?
