If you actually look at the picture of the interior, you feel you must be in Andalucía but might not know why until you pay attention to the "elements" hanging from the cupboard. Yes, it is "un jamón" and it is in the centre of London.

Going back to the icons, here are some suggestions for Andalucía. Do you agree? Can you add more?
