Spend a couple of hours with the locals, just don't get in their way, exploring all the fabulous food the south of Spain has to offer. The Ratatouille in me is always in cheese heaven. SO many varieties of goat, sheep and cows cheese to choose from. I will never get through all of them. The incredible fresh seafood, many still gasping from their very recent plucking from their watery home. Vegetables so unbelievably fresh and beautiful. Spices. They were my main purchase this day. Why bother to fix true Spanish dishes unless you have a great selection of the appropriate spices. Spain, all the devine jamòn. Legs of various aging just waiting to be sliced just for you. Fresh meats that will have your head spinning- I don't know what to cook first. When traveling always check out the local market. Many stalls will offer samples to try. Other have items that can be prepared to travel home with. Some purchases just may not make it out the door they are so delicious. One last tip- go early in the morning 7-8 am for the best selection. And most markets close around 2 pm.

I guess the beef I have is when a checkout lady was nasty with me when I told her I needed a plastic bag. 4 times I asked as she's ringing stuff up, then she made a mention how she hated this job without realising I spoke spanish. Then... when I got home, I realised she charged 10 eruos extra on my receipt. Something that wasn't in my bag. I'm guessing when she needs to buy things... she rings them up for other people then takes them home. So she doesn't have to pay. This has happened to me before so i'm guessing that was it. I couldn't be asked to walk all the way back when I realised I was overcharged. But that cow ruined my good mood. ================= Anyways, outside of my 1 bad experience which knocks off stars: I prefer Carrefour, but it's far from home. This store has a lot, but not everything. Prices are so so. Cheap on some, expensive on others. Best to make your own judgement. It's hard for me to write unbiased cause of my 1 experience.
