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?

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

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

Lovely soothing video. Thank you

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

It’ll be interesting to see the difference in each country when doing a basic shop. For all those who go the self catering route.

Yes , definitely!

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!

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

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.

Lovely vid.

Great vid. I enjoyed mucho.

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

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

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

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.

Estrella Galicia is the bigest sold beer in Spain.

Fascinating insight to the local shop love how you can buy half a pineapple 🍍 and cabbage 🥬

I love when going away (not that it happens very often) to find some local Cheese and eat it like you would a bar of chocolate

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!

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.

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.

That was different to me. interesting. Thank you Scott.

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

Great Video Scott

Scott, Estrella Galicia is my favourite and is considered a more premium beer, I wish it was cheaper to buy here in Edinburgh 👌

💚Grocery store content! You can learn so much about a place through markets.

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 😂

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.

You have to go to Mercadona! And if you feel adventurous go to Supersol

Now I know why u enjoy your beer Scott!

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.

Thanks for clearer pricing tony. Interesting vid. Olive oil is pricey everywhere now it seems.

They have the best crisps in Ibiza 😋😋😋

I guess you prefer to drink beer than eat olives…I certainly don’t blame you 🍺

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)

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

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.

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.

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

I just want to be able to go on a journey with you all the time! Thank you for all the views of the world! : )

Come on Scott..

It's a pity also that you didn't explain the "Tetilla" de queso

You should do a shop in the UK and one in Spain and see which is cheaper

The saga continues

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.

Hope you can do some videos in Madrid.

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

Never had a beer until you were 35yrs old Scott, what were you in a Monastery 🤔🤣 Interesting. Can't believe a scot, wasn't drinking at 16 or so. Making up for it now ehh Scott

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.

Would have been good to see how much a bottle of Rioja costs in Spain

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

Any chance of putting the prices in Canadian $

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.

Your at the Spanish M & S. Try Alcampo. I'm shocked that you as a Scotsman doesn't like olives.

For goodness sake Scott.Buy something!

I do love the Spanish supermarkets so mutxh fresh stuff

Why are things in Spain so expensive is it the supermarket your at ?

Appeared to by expensive apart from the beer.

cheese please

A little bit boring...perhaps Aldi in Glasgow next!

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

are those prices expensive for Spaniards?

Don't bother with the Maasdammer cheese in Spain. Get something local. Maasdammer is a Dutch copy of Emmenthaler. Affordable in the Netherlands. I would buy Spanish tinned fish.
