Where to buy them for reasonable price? Is the Jewish quarter or Mas Market is a good place to get authentic ones in right price. Which one is better?

I'm not sure whether you're looking for those items because you want to consume them in Spain or are seeking edible souvenirs. If the latter, be careful about packaging. I don't think you can be absolutely sure US customs will allow loose spices (not in sealed jars/cans) into the US. Nuts may also be an issue.

I was told if you buy from a store they are already packed and US customs allow that. Corte singles has some but didn't go d the nuts I saw them in Granada and TI told me the same also mentioned Jewishquaters but where she was not sure that's why I have asked if someone has any idea. They are in powder forms. I also saw blended teas and incense. I will like to buy so e if they are good. So if any experience any e has pl.share. Thanks.

Gosh, word your sentences properly.... the rest of us don't have a crystal ball to find out what are you referring too! :))
In Seville try...
- Alhacena, in Calle Relator, 50
- Sabhores, in Avenida Santa Cecilia, Local 2A
- Herbolario Esencia de Sevilla, Calle Jamerdana, 1
These are all specialized shops, as traditional as it gets. Not only you'll find plenty of these sort of products, but the "set up" is already a fest for your eyes.
If you prefer to get your spices from a classical fresh food market stall, something very "Spanish"... try Inmaculada Moreno in the Mercado de San Gonzalo, at the Plaza San Martín de Porres, in the neighbourhood of Triana.
Enjoy!

I am so sorry for my gibrish way of describing what I needed. I was so much in rush doing too many things at one time. Usually always check the typo and other errors. Any way thanks to both of you, who understood what I need. Hopfully I will be able to find something from what I am looking for.

I was going to suggest cutting her some slack as it appeared (to me) that she was not a native English speaker. That would account for old sentence structure and spelling. But maybe not.

Enric! Awesome info, I'll be in Sevilla in couple weeks. Don't you think you should become a travel writer?
