Brit tourist walks into Spanish supermarket and is amazed by 'rare' difference
A woman has shared a video of the things she found in a Spanish supermarket, and she was left gobsmacked by one thing in particular - and it's something that's very rare in the UK
Sitting in the sun all day and then quenching your thirst with a chilled Fanta Lemon or sharing a packet of Lays is an elite feeling. However, if you're landing in the early hours after a late-night flight, the panic might set in about whether you'll be able to grab snacks and water before morning arrives. The last thing you want is a morning headache.
Fear not if Spain is your destination, as one lady has highlighted that certain supermarkets there keep their doors open until the early morning, which is quite rare back in the UK. Florence Grace highlighted her surprise in her video caption, "Still open at one am?! Spanish supermarkets are the best," and showcased some tempting items she encountered during her visit.
She enthused over the "colour of this Sunny D," and playfully remarked, "you're not in Spain unless you get this," while showing off a jar of Chovi Allioli.
Delving into further exclusive finds, Florence revealed some "biscuit chocolates" reminiscent of Maltesers and described an Oreo milkshake she tasted as "very sickly".
She also exposed the bargain finds, such as a "mini paella" for under three euros and even a full bottle of sangria for less than two euros.
Florence couldn't help but giggle as she pointed out the possibility of buying a carton of wine for merely 99 cents, revealing that it contained a whole litre of booze.
Florence was all praises as she stood by the fresh orange juice machine in a Spanish shop, exclaiming, "This is the best thing about Spanish shops," where customers can freshly squeeze their juice on the spot to ensure its freshness.
As she explored further, Florence marvelled at the frozen lemonades and gestured to a dessert, saying: "You can get a whole cake."
She pointed out that there's no need for an all-inclusive resort when you can easily grab these treats from local supermarkets.
"You can get a whole big bag of muffins," she effused, while perusing the Milka chocolate and chorizo, which were on offer for a mere two euros.
"In Spain, you can get a tub of carrots and a tub of guacamole," she clarified, showcasing the range of salad options ideal for a barbecue with loved ones.
She then scoped out the crisps aisle, drawing attention to "ketchup flavour" varieties before moving on to an ample bag of churros.
Highlighting the affordability of beverages, Florence noted, "I forget how cheap the alcohol is here," as she compared the cost of a single can of San Miguel at 73 cents to bubble tea priced at four euros and 50 cents, a striking contrast for Brits.
"This protein coffee is 20g of protein and zero sugar. What is it made of then?" she pondered aloud. Wrapping up her video, she concluded with enthusiasm "they do the best sweets in Spain".
Moreover, the convenience of late-night shopping means no cravings have to go unaddressed during your holiday.

I Just Got Back From Spain And Everyone Was Wearing These Shoes - So I Caved Too
I just got back from spending a week in Madrid and while I explored the usual sights; Retiro Park, the Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor, there was another sight I was desperate to stop by - the Flabelus store. For those who have never heard of the brand, let me introduce you. Flabelus is a Spanish label who took a traditional Venetian slipper and added a Spanish twist with its plush velvet outer and delectable range of colour combinations to choose from. Its shoes are now quietly (or maybe not so quietly) taking over wardrobes (and the Grazia office too). As it turns out the story behind the brand is as sweet as its shoes. When founder Beatriz de los Mozos first dreamt of importing the classic Furlane slipper to Spain, it wasn't a grand business plan but a passionate hunch. Beatriz spoke to Grazia's Hannah Banks-Walker to explain: 'I loved the shoes, but I wanted to adapt them to the Spanish market.' The twist? Her two best friends were meant to co-found the brand with her but had to step back, 'but during that meeting we found the name: Fla (Flaminia) -Be (Beatriz) -Lus (Lucrecia) is the combination of our three names.' A few meetings with Spanish espadrille factories later, and the first Flabelus shoe was born - a slipper-espadrille that tows the line between the two. ©Instagram/@gabrielagriffith Velvet Antonia Mary Janes Black There's nothing more versatile than a black pair of Mary Janes, which is why this Flabelus pair is so popular. Wear them with jeans, a midi skirt or mini dress, the shoes will go with everything you already have in your wardrobe, but can also easily elevate any outfit too. Since then, Flabelus' cult shoes have been spotted more times than I can count on Instagram, and the brand gives a lot of credit to its socials for creating a community with one thing in common - a collective obsession with Flabelus shoes. 'We're very lucky because our clients love posting the shoes online,' Beatriz says, 'of course we work hard to place the shoes in the wardrobes of the coolest ambassadors all over the world.' And cool women they are. Billie Eilish once uploaded an Instagram post wearing them ('I nearly had a heart attack' Beatriz admits), and fashion editors across Europe are racing to get their hands on the deep burgundy Lucrecia Mary Janes - one of the bestsellers. ©Instagram/@gizemkocacinar Mary Jane Shoes Red Velvet A best-seller for Flabelus, its burgundy velvet Mary Janes are popular for good reason. With a distinctive branded sole that's made out of recycled bike tyres and a strap finished with contrast stitching and a buckle - the Flabelus Mary Janes are a shoe that will never go out of style. Wear with denim shorts or a maxi dress. My thoughts? The Flabelus Mary Janes are, honestly, one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I've slipped my feet into (and that's not an exaggeration). I wore them while walking sometimes over 15,000 steps a day on holiday, to a Sam Fender concert, and now I'm home, the Mary Janes have also become a mainstay in my office wardrobe - styling them with anything from wide-leg trousers to midi dresses. The velvet is soft on the outside, the insole is soft on the inside and the sole (that's cleverly crafted from recycled bike tyres) is a feature I really love - especially considering the fact that most ballet flats don't really have any sort of protection between your foot and the floor. The only negative thing about Flabelus' Mary Janes is the sizing - be warned, they come up super small - even the sales associate advised me of that. I'm usually a size 4.5/5 and have quite narrow feet, so I sized up to a 6 and they fit much better than the size 5 I originally tried. If you never thought you'd see the day where the shoe you used to wear back in 2004 is suddenly everywhere once more, well I'm sorry to tell you - Mary Janes are back like they never left. The shoes have inevitably gotten a lot more chic - we can all probably be glad the stiff and patent iterations are no longer - all thanks to Flabelus' iconic and quietly luxurious velvet styles. Plus, while the shoes might look dainty, Flabelus' Mary Janes are actually made for everyday wear, whether you're heading to the office, to brunch, to the market, or even to Madrid. Aside from comfort, Flabelus tick all the boxes for sustainability, craftsmanship and - perhaps the hardest one to achieve - a sense of identity than runs deeper than any trend (I can't tell you how many people stopped me in the street to say 'are they Flabelus?' when talking about my shoes). And, as Beatriz puts it 'every pair of shoes tells a story', so, if you're going to invest in a Mary Jane this summer, make it one with soul. 4. Velvet Uta Mary Janes Green 5.

Andy Carroll's ex Billi Mucklow takes savage swipe at star with sizzling bikini pic
It comes after Andy flaunted his new romance on a never-ending trip to Ibiza BIKINI BABE Andy Carroll's ex Billi Mucklow takes savage swipe at star with sizzling bikini pic Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BILLI Mucklow has given her ex-husband Andy Carroll a look at what he's missing by posing in bikini in Mallorca. The former Towie star, 37, has shared several sizzling photos online and told her followers: "Back To My Happy Place." Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Billi Mucklow has wowed in a bikini while in Majorca Credit: Instagram 5 The former Towie star has shown her ex Andy Carroll what he's missing Credit: Instagram 5 Andy has been flaunting his new romance with Lou Teasdale Credit: Instagram In the snaps, Billi is clutching a glass of white wine in her hand and beaming at the camera while paddling in a private swimming pool. Billi's caption appears to be taking a swipe at the former Newcastle and West Ham ace, who she split with last summer. During the couple's turbulent two-year marriage, Billi had jetted out to Mallorca with her girl friends to let her hair down. She was joined on the trip by her former Towie co-stars Georgia Kousoulou and Shelby Tribble - and it came days after The Sun revealed Andy had been "dirty dancing" with a DJ at a house party. At the time, Georgia shared some pics of the girls' holiday and told her followers: "Our first 24 hours back in our happy place." Billi also appears to be shrugging off Andy's shock decision to take his new girlfriend, Lou Teasdale, to Mallorca on their first holiday together. Last October, Andy whisked Lou to the Spanish island to celebrate her 41st birthday. His split with Billi, which came after they had been together for 11 years, had only been revealed a very short while beforehand. While in Mallorca, the couple packed on the PDA as they rolled around on a sun lounger while kissing. But it is clear Billi is refusing to let Andy's antics with Lou taint her feelings towards her "happy place". Former England striker Andy Carroll openly kissed and cuddled new girlfriend Lou Teasdale at the sun-kissed Balneario Beach Club in Mallorca Commenting on her new photos, Towie star Chloe Meadows told Billi: "Wow! You look incredible!!" Danielle Armstrong added: "Yes you look insane fire🔥." Another of Billi's followers even wrote: "Best thing ya done girl getting shot of him!!! 🔥🔥😍." Earlier this month, The Sun told how rising tensions between Billi and Andy are set to explode after he flaunted his romance with Lou on a never-ending Ibiza break. While Andy was away, Billi was holding the fort at home - looking after their three children and his two children from a previous relationship. A source told us: "Everyone thinks Andy is acting like an utter p***k and is making himself look like a total fool posting so many sexy shots with Lou - who he moved on with alarmingly quickly after separating from the mother of his kids. 'While he is off galavanting around the party island, posting all these snaps that scream 'we are having hot sex!', Billi is at home looking after not only their children, but his two kids from a previous relationship with ex-fiancee Faye Johnstone. 'It's a silent gut-punch to Billie, who is an angel and adores the kids - looking after them and protecting them from this circus is her number one priority. "To her it's second nature to be there for them and to be their caregiver." Andy is now based in France after signing for Championnat National 2 club Bordeaux. Billi is living with the children in Essex. The former couple married in 2022. During his stag do, Andy was pictured passed out on a bed with two women. This month, Andy and Billi's home went under offer for a seven-figure sum after being listed for £8.5million. 5 Andy and Billi's split was announced last October
