LET'S EXPLORE SPANISH SUPERMARKETS! I explore supermarkets and I'm amazed at the quality and choice.

I visit three supermarkets in and around Malaga, and I'm surprised at the quality and choice of produce available.

Oh I love a Spanish supermarket. I remember buying 'Loch Castle' whisky when I was a student there, I think they just put two Scottish words together and hoped for the best. Great to see, cheers Scott! Times when you wish you had an empty suitcase eh?

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Loch Castle whisky! Brilliant. It's like Chinese takeaways that need key words in their name - golden, dragon , jade, palace etc.

Do not handle fruit without the vinyl gloves! (tio guarro)

[@janetwhitten3945]

The white asparagus is amazing. It tastes nothing like the green one and is lovely with a garlic mayo dip. My son in law is from Malaga and I love a good shopping spree in Spanish supermarkets

[@dennismatthews6660]

Just watched Steve Marsh and Alicia walked 20 kilometers up and down hills in Canada. You, you’re walking a supermarket. Much more relaxed.😀

[@juliedoyle7131]

Love going around supermarkets on holiday to see so much interesting things...thanks for sharing ❤

[@janettesinclair6279]

Scott, I thought I was the only weird person who loved going through foreign supermarkets! The fresh fruit and veg are superb and they do love their cheese here, don't they? Once I was thrilled to find Milo ( a chocolate bedtime drink) in a shop in New Zealand - I hadn't tasted Milo since the 1950's!

[@thomaswilson1312]

I love to visit markets when visiting other places to see variety, quality, and prices. Fascinating to see how people live. 😊

[@Justino_Nicolás]

Great vid. I enjoyed mucho.

[@camilodominguez1760]

Estrella Galicia is the bigest sold beer in Spain.

[@michaelarcher6278]

As a retired supermarket worker, it's interesting to see the prices in Europe, some very different to the UK. On a different note, a while ago you did a video of the Ben Nevis North Face walk. Well, inspired by you, I finally managed the walk to the CIC hut and back. A brilliant walk, so glad I saw your video, Thank you for the inspiration.

[@kevinellis8869]

Got to go by train to avoid the liquid limits, looking forward to seeing you on a train again.

[@thomascook578]

I love visiting markets as well as supermarkets, you see all weird shapes of produce.

[@phronsiekeys]

European supermarkets often seem much cheaper than mine in Northeast US (a very expensive area), but this one, not as much. Except olive oil! Holy cow, it's about 1/2 price there; of course it's local. And baked goods in Europe seem practically free.

[@anitapresnell6403]

Very interesting. Been learning Spanish a while now and can read some of the pates. Never had a tuna(atun) pate before. Thanks so much for sharing. Muchas gracias 😊

[@kazzicup]

Very interesting journey through the supermarket. I fancy goat cheese right now. Goat cheese is expensive everywhere.

I am probably really sad but I really enjoy going round the local supermarkets, especially the beer aisle! So many great beers!

[@martinquinn9007]

For hygiene reasons, you should not touch unpackaged fruits and vegetables, for that there are gloves in the department.

Great Video Scott

[@alejandrayalanbowman367]

Hi Scott from a non-touristy part of Spain. It is a pity you went to expensive supertmarkets and not one of the multiples such as Mercadona where you'd have found prices 50 -75 % of those you saw.

[@LocutorBritanico]

Mercadona is definitely the best!

[@davidknox5929]

Now I know why u enjoy your beer Scott!

[@nattyco]

I can't believe you went to two supermarkets in Spain and didn't show us the wine section to compare prices to the UK, only beers and an odd whisky. Nice video all the same.

[@chrispriilaid4317]

[@wemailbill2]

I’ve always enjoyed going to markets in other countries. Being that I’m not from the UK I think a video from your local one would be interesting

[@julianmunoz7724]

Hi from a Spaniard! Just a couple of comments! First, the prices you are showing here, are cheap almost the half, in comparison with the prices on Madrid, especially the tomatoes and remaining fruits. Second comment, it's a bit funny for me to see the selection of aliments you choose, they are not a typical mediterrean diet 😂

[@southernairs]

Very interesting video Scott, thanks for sharing this- I personally enjoy seeing the supermarket offerings from around Europe! -Tyler

[@ludwig327]

The saga continues

[@tomkenyon3721]

Fresh asparagus is a delight but those white ones in jars are not even close and since Brexit the standard of fruit and veg imported into the UK has deteriorated markedly not surprisingly as they get their own back.

[@john07973]

And they fly that aspargus thousands of miles from Peru

[@clarea1801]

Wben I went to Krakow for three days I visited the supermarket in the local shopping centre at least twice a day, such a huge range and so cheap, puts our supermarkets to shame

[@history_leisure]

I had a host when I studied abroad in Madrid in 2022. Thus, I'd mostly get snacks at the alimentaciones, or independent corner stores. However, I did go into the store across from the main campus of the university (at Arguelles), A type of Carefour I beleive. A lot nicer than any American store I've seen (although Wegmans, which is based out of New York but are all over the Mid-Atlantic now, is close on the aesthetic quality). Being in the city, it had a basement where most things were-they had the deli, hot bar, and I think alcohol at street level and most everything else downstairs...but there was a refrigerated wall upstairs near the checkstands/tills. I also went into the Sol and Callao Corte Ingles stores and lived near the flagship store in Nuevos Ministerios (I would pass it to take the train down to Parque Warner twice, all the way to Aranjuez once, and then returning from Parque Europa in Terrjon via the Recoltes tunnel because I decided to cut class because getting back to Torrejon took a lot longer than expected. Only one of maybe 2 or 3 times I missed/cut a class in my college years for the sake of it (other time was I hated the teacher I had when I took Comp for the first time. One day, I picked my battles because I felt a little iffy, but I may have legit cut. I also almost missed a class because my alarm didn't work in J-term, but we still had virtual option, so problem evaded). This does not include times where I was legit sick and took a whole day off from class or optional class on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (many teachers don't like that they only give us Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Black Friday in the fall term)

[@ianfox6106]

I think you are going to be in for a shock when you get to Australia and see how expensive things are in our supermarkets. Alcohol is at least double if not triple in price, and a lot of that has to do with alcohol taxes, which are higher than in the UK. But you won't notice that because in m9st states supermarkets are not allowed to sell alcohol.

[@cilldublin07]

Victoria malaga is the business, best spanish beer going. Just a pity its so hard to find

[@monikaunterwegs7960]

sometimes I'm surprised how much Spanish I understand without speeking it. (but I speak French and Italian on an intermediate level). Just a small correction: jamon is ham, not bacon.

[@tomfitz-tm6tz]

I have paid almost one euro for one Orange in Barcelona shops...not all is cheaper in Spain...cauliflower can be 3 euros each...Catalonia is expensive.

[@Foodie23612]

Hope you can do some videos in Madrid.

[@KeefsCattys]

Loved seeing whats on offer down in Spain Scott and thoroughly enjoyed the video .People in Spain use more local ingredients and they buy and sell from their nearest neighbours which makes sense to me . Hmm ??? Thats maybe what we used to do before 2016. Best wishes

[@plugsocket9432]

What happened in 2016?

[@hanshartfiel6394]

I'm off to Germany at the end of August and will stay there for two weeks. Of course I'll go to a supermarket and, of course, I;'ll bring plenty back and as I'm driving I don't have to worry about the 100ml rule. The 100ml rule, by the way, will soon change to 2 litre to take into the cabin. I believe this is already the case at Luton airport.

[@sonkeschluter3654]

How can you know about the quality of the food if you've not eaten any of it?

[@ianlove1215]

I went to visit my brother in New Zealand 11 years ago & they had 8 or 9 different flavours of Cadbury's chocolate bars that I have never seen over here. Why is olive oil so expensive??? Many years ago my family would do the day trips across to France (living in Kent helped). In Calais there was a cheese shop in one of the back streets, you knew you were in the right one from the smell!!!

[@lparky4409]

Inlaws used to do the nonlanding booze cruises, even hovercraft in the morning(didn't take long) and the ferry in the afternoon! We lived in Kent as well.

[@dlittlester]

Here in Canada, compared to this, it's disappointing. The pricing here is out of sight.

Great city , great plan . How does the three month Brexit limit work out ? Can you leave after 11 weeks , return to the UK for a month and then return to the EU countries for another three months or is it a maximum of 90 days per year ? Hope you tried the Cerveza Victoria .

[@1650million]

90 days in, 90 days out. So it´s basically 180 days max per year, considering the two 90 days compulsory break.

The UK customs seem not to care about EU goods coming from Republic of Ireland (EU) into Northern Ireland (non-EU). Meanwhile the EU is concerned about UK goods entering their single market from GB to NI and on to Republic of Ireland. Seems strange.

Get rid of the background music as it’s distracting from the video. But keep up these supermarket videos although they are a strange fit to the channel.

[@stuartparks8094]

Mercadona is my favourite Spanish supermarket, they have really good fresh bakery products, and pick and mix small cakes which are sold by weight, which is quite dangerous

[@pepegotera8598]

The first cheese you chose is called chusco, it is one of the good ones, but of course it depends on each person's palate. As for the beer, I couldn't tell you, I don't usually drink much, maybe "the Molen Bier" I have been told about the Alhambra but I have never tried it, I guess as an Andalusian I am from the non-drinking club.

[@TheEddyrose1]

I was told that food prices are very cheap in Spain, not really! But then again, Malaga is a tourist place so they can put whatever price they want according to the amount of people visiting. Here where I live in Austria, people are complaining about the prices but I saw several items you showed in Spain that were more expensive than here!

[@plugsocket9432]

I watch Survival Lilly from Austria and she says that the middle class is being turned into working class due to price increases. Seems bad at the moment in Austria.

[@davidb8205]

I think in Spain you need to shop around. There are some wonderful products, like Cabra and Iberico, but a lot of products which are very competitive in the YUK, like yoghurt, are dominated by multinationals. Choice is constrained and prices high. Things like babybel cheese and Hagen Daz I have always found very expensive in Spain. The fresh produce is often better quality, and even convenience cook chill produce is often interesting. But direct comparison with YUK is not easy. We import a lot of produce, so we have to put up with supply chain delays. And prices are low for some things ( pineapples are £1 each in the YUK, not sold by the kilo ), so its only to be expected that producers will sell higher quality merch in places they fetch the highest price.

[@andymerrett]

@@davidb8205 where is the YUK just out of interest? I can't work out if you have a distaste for the UK, your autocorrect is playing up, or it's some country code I haven't heard of (although you are using £ for currency)
