It is Europe, so of course they have different coffees, a fresh orange juice machine, but it is their sandwiches and fresh breads that keeps folks standing in line. The ever famous bocadillos, tiny sandwiches with fresh fillings, are the best around. You can get them filled with hamon Serrano, tortilla Española, and an assortment of other meats and always fresh colorful veggies. They also have empanadas, beer, wine, croissants, and cute Mickey Mouse shaped breads for kids and grown kids. Pro tip, get a couple beers, a few bocadillos, some fresh orange juice, and head down the street to enjoy a picnic at the centuries old Campo de San Francisco and Plazs España.

The options were great. The had: - Artisanal bread: made with sourdough and baked to perfection - Pastries: Anything from croissants, Neapolitans, muffins to other freshly baked sweets. - Gluten-free products. Many options here. The lady working behind the counter was the nicest and friendliest. They take cash or credit. I got a beef empanada, an almond pastry and a raisin/apple mini cake. All were excellent and very inexpensive.

I ended up getting on pastry made with nuts and a sweet dough. It was called casadiellas or casadielles.....typically these made of a wheat flour dough that is filled with a mixture of nuts, sugar and anise; there are variations of it with puff pastry. It was about 6" in length full of sweetness. Delish.....

Why is Oviedo frozen in time? In a world where Los Prados has a 4 star rating and Carrefour only 3…read more(before I post my reviews), I wonder what happened in 2008 to blind people so much to what's going on here. I spent almost three months in Oviedo, since my mother was living there and I was trying to see if I could join her (I couldn't and went back to my home country) and I was constantly baffled by how complacent people are about their lack of choices. Carrefour is not exactly near the city center (almost 2.5km), but it's the best and closest grocery store I've been to. I have walked or taken the bus to Carrefour just to buy stuff I couldn't find in Mercadona, Hipercor or Más y Más, at a really affordable price. They have a huge selection of fruits, meat, vegetables, baked goods, electronics... basically anything you need. Sure, Hipercor also offers this, but their inflated prices are insane. Carrefour maintains a lower price with their off-brand alternatives, plus offers a really comprehensive foreign goods section (which, in my case, really helped those three months of uncertainty pass by). The free wifi works great, which is a rare but wonderful treat. There's really useful lockers near the entrance for you to leave your stuff and take your time browsing around the supermarket. If you can go to Carrefour for your monthly shopping, do so. If you're in Oviedo on holiday, skip Los Prados entirely: it'll only make you sad.

The produce section was large, lots of fruits and fresh vegetables. I got my 5 liters of water for about US$ 0.70 and a few more things.
