Of all the five or six different food stores I went into on a trip to Portugal and Spain, the…read moreCarrefour market was my favorite. Good selection, fresh produce, it was a good store, decent prices. I think they must have expanded into several buildings because you'd turn a corner and then there was another 90° turn in another direction with more stuff ! It was pretty cool exploring their space. They also had one of those European flat ground escalators that could take a shopping cart up and down as the store was two levels. I didn't need any help, but there were plenty of employees, stocking shelves, etc.

Alcampo at Diagonal Mar is a supermarket/hypermarket located over two floors in the mall. The store…read morereminded me a lot of the big American supermarkets similar to Walmart/Target in style. I visited to get some essentials to return to my hotel nearby. The opening hours are in line with the rest of the mall, as of October 2024, they're open until 9 pm Monday to Saturday and closed on Sunday. The store is large, but the layout just seems to make sense, so I didn't struggle to find what I was looking for, the language barrier caused the only issues, but I managed to sort everything out using the translate app on my phone. The store seemed fairly modern through the aisles; prices were no more expensive than anywhere else in Spain, although many items seemed to be priced much higher than I'd expect to pay back home in the UK. The checkout area could use a little extra work, though. The quality of the fresh fruit and meat looked very good, which is something I find so appealing in Europe, although I was unable to make the most of it on my trip. 4*

A lot like Target.. same orange plastic carts, good prices and very close to the same signage, but many things we don't have in the US. Bought ALL the interdental tooth brushes they had. My dentist loved that. Had to order more in 2021 for 5 times the price. Going back again this fall.

It was decent white wine. nothing earth shattering - but pleasant for an afternoon picnic in the park. it's a cute little neighborhood convenience store - bigger than a 7-11, but smaller than a caprabo. with a decent variety.

When I travel, I like spending some times just walking thru a local grocer. I had a cart and probably spent almost an hour here looking at the different types of wines, picos camperos and cheeses. I was perusing thru the deli counter and saw all types of meat and wanted to pick up some items at the counter. The lady at the counter started talking to me and I said my usual 'hola', I knew this conversation would go beyond that, so I think she started explaining the difference to me between Jamón Serrano and Jamón Ibérico. I didn't want to break the wallet so I took out my phone and used Google Translate to make sure I was getting some reasonable prices Jamón. After the store manager came out trying to figure out what I was asking, I did get what I was looking for twenty minutes later (see photo of that vacuum packed goodness!). I brought it back to the room and took the rest with me to the Sagrada Família. I recommend checking this market out if you eat nearby at Cerveceria Catalana.

The smells of chocolates and sweets was undeniable and was heaven. My go to here are the differing percentage cocoa flavored chocolates. Each had a distinct flavor and bitterness of chocolate that i love. This isn't your usual raisin covered chocolate but is the cocoa pod paste mashed up and surrounding the nuts itself. Any of the macadamia or almond covered chocolates were so good. You can't go wrong. I really wish i could come here every day but alas till next time Barcelona.
