Honestly, this was the best ham and cheese sandwich of my life. I don't know what their secret sauce is, but it's well worth your dollars. The preparation, the aging, the combination of great quality meat with an in-house cheese that is also something to write home about all on its own make for the perfect sandwich. The house made chips are also vinegary, salty, and a perfect complement to their sandwiches. Portions are large enough to split and there's a park with a square across the street where you can eat. 10/10.

After walking past this shop so many times and seeing the abundance of iberico pig legs hanging on…read morethe wall, I was finally seduced by the bocadillos displayed behind the window; those draping slices of jamon iberico just looked so good for only €3.90. Fortunately, the sandwich was just as satisfying as it looked. For their sandwiches, they drape the slices of jamon iberico over the edges of the bread to make it look like a ton of meat, but they really do contain a lot of meat. The sandwiches I have had here contained way more meat than the sandwiches I have had at some other meat shops in Spain. And those velvety thin slices of ham were so rich, savory, and nearly melt in your mouth. Not to mention the bread was good, too. The crusty outside is a nice contrast to the soft ham, and the soft fluffy inside perfectly absorbs the delicious oil from the ham. Just a delicious and cheap bocadillo de jamon iberico that I wouldn't mind getting again. And if you have more money to spend, their freshly sliced ham looks like top quality meat.

Case in point, thought I'd try the local beer and it's only 0.29€ per can. They also have regional wine. A bottle of 2013 Muñana Rojo (Tempranillo, Cabernet and Petit Verdot) sourced from the local Sierra Nevada area was only 5,75€. Jar of generic Nutella was 1€. Cute Coviran shopping bags too for 1,15€. I kept coming back and getting more things after I already paid. Because I dig those Spanish snacks. Minimum purchase with credit card is 5€.

If you are staying at the Hotel Palacio de Santa Paula, this is the most convenient grocery store…read moreto go to. Coviran has all that you need from a convenience store. In addition, there is a fruit section right upfront. However, I would not recommend you to buy fruits here; I have a better recommendation for you shortly in another review ;) (Frutas Carmen). In the back, there is a butcher there to sell you sliced ham and other meats. There is also a frozen section with yogurt and vegetables, other than the fresh vegetables upfront. Overall, Coviran is a very convenient place to go for a quick grab for anything you are missing utility wise. But I would still go to a special fruit store or ham store if that is what you are looking for in particular.
