Thread: uk shopping in spain

We have a great supermercado Consum in Sitges. Many UK brands, but I find their own are as good as most and a lot cheaper. Worth trying locally branded and sourced products as replacements. But I do miss cathedral city cheddar and m and s Sausages. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Yes I have contacted this company in the past but by the time they added their costs etc on it nearly doubled the price of the item. As others have said most things are available here and usually less expensive than the uk

I looked into this company too and found them to be expensive once they had put their delivery costs on. I was looking more at stores like Next and boots etc. I know they have these in Gibraltar which I go to quite a lot but they too are more expensive than home. I am thinking of going to Primark which is about a 2 hour drive from here.

I have seen cathedral cheddar somewhere although it may have been down in Ayamonte will check our local supermarkets here and in Sevilla when next out.

I find that I can get virtually anything I want from either SuperSol underneath Plaza Mayor in Arroyo de la Miel or Euromarket in Mijas Costa.

Thanks Vall we have quite a selection of Supermarkets in Sitges so it would be good to find Cathedral City

Never mind Cathedral City; the best Cheddar cheese by far is DunMor mature cheddar which is available in all of the Mercadona stores.

I love mature Cheddar and have always avoided the cheese in Mercadona, in the same was as I avoid shopping there when possible, but the next time I go there I shall buy some DunMor!

For the price Beachcomber, it is very acceptable, it is part of my staple diet. No E numbers to burn the roof of your mouth!
It is not "Mature" however, my Son brought me over some Mature Cheddar at Easter. It was made and then matured in the old way, actually in a Cheddar Cave in the Gorge I have been in withdrawl syndrome state ever since it was finished. Gosh it was good, (my mouth's watering now just remembering it).
I actually went out and bought a decent bottle of Port for the full Monty
