Brit tourist walks into Spanish supermarket and is amazed by 'rare' difference
Sitting in the sun all day and then quenching your thirst with a chilled Fanta Lemon or sharing a packet of Lays is an elite feeling. However, if you're landing in the early hours after a late-night flight, the panic might set in about whether you'll be able to grab snacks and water before morning arrives. The last thing you want is a morning headache.
Fear not if Spain is your destination, as one lady has highlighted that certain supermarkets there keep their doors open until the early morning, which is quite rare back in the UK. Florence Grace highlighted her surprise in her video caption, "Still open at one am?! Spanish supermarkets are the best," and showcased some tempting items she encountered during her visit.
She enthused over the "colour of this Sunny D," and playfully remarked, "you're not in Spain unless you get this," while showing off a jar of Chovi Allioli.
Delving into further exclusive finds, Florence revealed some "biscuit chocolates" reminiscent of Maltesers and described an Oreo milkshake she tasted as "very sickly".
She also exposed the bargain finds, such as a "mini paella" for under three euros and even a full bottle of sangria for less than two euros.
Florence couldn't help but giggle as she pointed out the possibility of buying a carton of wine for merely 99 cents, revealing that it contained a whole litre of booze.
Florence was all praises as she stood by the fresh orange juice machine in a Spanish shop, exclaiming, "This is the best thing about Spanish shops," where customers can freshly squeeze their juice on the spot to ensure its freshness.
As she explored further, Florence marvelled at the frozen lemonades and gestured to a dessert, saying: "You can get a whole cake."
She pointed out that there's no need for an all-inclusive resort when you can easily grab these treats from local supermarkets.
"You can get a whole big bag of muffins," she effused, while perusing the Milka chocolate and chorizo, which were on offer for a mere two euros.
"In Spain, you can get a tub of carrots and a tub of guacamole," she clarified, showcasing the range of salad options ideal for a barbecue with loved ones.
She then scoped out the crisps aisle, drawing attention to "ketchup flavour" varieties before moving on to an ample bag of churros.
Highlighting the affordability of beverages, Florence noted, "I forget how cheap the alcohol is here," as she compared the cost of a single can of San Miguel at 73 cents to bubble tea priced at four euros and 50 cents, a striking contrast for Brits.
"This protein coffee is 20g of protein and zero sugar. What is it made of then?" she pondered aloud. Wrapping up her video, she concluded with enthusiasm "they do the best sweets in Spain".
Moreover, the convenience of late-night shopping means no cravings have to go unaddressed during your holiday.

Inside Marcus Rashford's on-off romance with childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi from LA engagement to Barcelona reunion
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MARCUS RASHFORD not only sealed his dream move to Barcelona this week but also his reunion with childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi. The forward has joined the LaLiga giants from Manchester United on a loan with an option to buy for the 2025/26 season. 9 Marcus Rashford has rekindled his relationship with Lucia Loi Credit: Getty 9 She was often seen at games supporting the forward Credit: Getty 9 Rashford and Lucia started dating when they were at school Credit: lucialoi/instagram 9 However, their relationship has not been plain sailing Credit: Getty Rashford, 27, will be hoping the move to Spain can see him regain the form that made him one of the best in the Premier League. And he will have plenty of support from the pitchside from partner Luica. She was present while Rashford took part in his Barcelona photoshoot before his unveiling at the Camp Nou. SunSport understands that the Red Devils exile asked Lucia, 26, to help him settle in Spain to allow him to focus on football. They were spotted together at the recording of his Barcelona announcement video. PR guru Lucia could be seen taking a picture of Rashford and checking his new shirt. The couple first met while they were attending Aston on Mersey School in Manchester. They were in a relationship as Rashford made his stunning debut for Man United in the Europa League against FC Midtjylland in February 2016. SUN VEGAS WELCOME OFFER: GET £50 BONUS WHEN YOU JOIN It was a memorable match for the forward as he marked his competitive debut with a brace during the 5-1 win at Old Trafford. The relationship hit a rocky patch in 2021 during the Covid pandemic as they split, but only to reconcile the next year. Barcelona announce loan signing of Man Utd forward Marcus Rashford In June 2022, Rashford proposed to Lucia with a £250,000 engagement ring after enjoying a romantic meal at Catch LA in West Hollywood, California. He shared a picture of the moment on social media, which showed the pair sharing a kiss. The smooch was snapped as they stood in front of a stunning heart-shaped flower arrangement. Lucia was a regular backer of Rashford as she was often spotted in the Old Trafford stands cheering him on. 9 The couple got engaged in 2022 Credit: Instagram 9 Rashford proposed in West Hollywood, California Credit: INstagram 9 Lucia was spotted with Rashford as he recorded content with Barcelona Credit: x 9 Rashford has joined the Spanish giants on loan Credit: Getty However, their engagement ended in June 2023 after the England international was seen with a model outside a Miami hotel. At the time, SunSport exclusively revealed that they broke up because the relationship had "run its course". Lucia had gone on a social media blackout but returned the following month by leaving her "social media grave". The couple stayed in contact and even had dinner in Manchester later that year. Rashford was at the time romantically linked to model and former Love Island contestant Grace Jackson, but that is believed to have ended in December 2023. A source has said that despite the fizzling of their engagement, they have continued to remain friends and have grown close again. They added: "Marcus knows that some of the best moments in his career have occurred when Lucia has been at his side. "They got together when they were very young and have had ups and downs, but a friendship has always remained. 9 "He knows that she is good for him and she is one of the few people in the world he knows has got his best interests at heart. "She is very sensible and helps keep him grounded." Meanwhile, Rashford will be the first England international to wear Barcelona colours since Gary Lineker. The former Match of the Day host played there for three years between 1986 and 1989. And he has been rewarded with the club's iconic No.14 shirt that has previously been worn by the likes of Johan Cruyff and Thierry Henry.

Lioness star Lucy Bronze's mysterious 'split' from teammate before baby bombshell
The self-styled 'bossy mum' of the Lionesses squad, Lucy Bronze, has opened up about the one wish she has for her future. It comes as she has been romantically linked with some very famous players Lioness legend Lucy Bronze keeps her life away from the pitch largely under wraps, but she has been linked to some very famous sportswomen in her love life. The footaller, known as one of the best in the world, was once reportedly dating her teammate Keira Walsh but she's since found a new flame, according to reports. Despite their romance seemingly fizzling out, Lucy and Keira appear to remain amicable and are both part of the Lioness squad. It comes as Lucy dropped a major bombshell about her huge wish for the future. Lucy, 33, is known as one of the world's top female footballers - boasting over 120 international appearances and a collection of silverware, including five Champions League crowns. She transferred to Chelsea in 2024 following her time at Barcelona, and her adaptability as a right-back or wing-back continues to prove invaluable for both club and nation. Away from the football field, she was rumoured to be in a relationship with England's vice-captain and Chelsea player Keira Walsh, 28. In the summer of 2022, Bronze and Walsh both made the switch from Man City to Barcelona and competed in the World Cup as part of the Lionesses squad the following year. The pair kept their rumoured romance relatively low-key and never publicly confirmed their relationship, but shared several cosy photos together on social media over the years. Some of which included sun-soaked getaways together, including a break to Lyon, France, in 2019 and a trip to LA in May 2022, where they struck a pose on the beach. They've even spent time together with both their families, as a sweet Instagram snap showed Lucy and Keira beaming alongside their loved ones. While they never confirmed their relationship together or a split, things seemed to suddenly come to an end. Lucy is now said to be romantically linked with Spanish footballer Ona Batlle, 26. While neither of the pair has gone official, they have shared a series of sweet snaps together. One saw them on holiday together last month before the Euros kicked off in Switzerland. In the post, Lucy wrote: "Few days of sun," while Ona commented with a heart-eyed emoji. They even took a trip to Disneyland Paris together in December last year. Meanwhile, Lucy recently opened up about her future and about starting a family of her own one day. In an interview with Women's Health, she shared: "I could get a corporate job. I could try to be part of the Federation or Fifa. I could help someone like Chelsea develop the women's team." The player added: "I wouldn't say there's something I'm dying to do, apart from have a family. My brother's got two kids and that's what I'm most jealous of, seeing my niece and nephew. But there's plenty of time for that – and what that looks like, I don't know." While Lucy and Ona are major rivals during the Euros, with England and Spain competing against each other in the final on Sunday, 27 July, it doesn't seem to impact their relationship off the pitch. After Spain took victory against England during the 2023 World Cup, Ona was spotted comforting Lucy on the sidelines.

World's best holiday cities revealed and three of them are only two hours from the UK
Plus, here's what Deputy Travel Editor Kara Godfrey thought when she visited one CITIES OF DREAMS World's best holiday cities revealed and three of them are only two hours from the UK Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THREE of the world's best cities are just a few hours away from the UK, offering sun and beautiful sights. Florence, Seville and Porto all won big at the Travel + Leisure Awards 2025 - and you can get to all three of them in just over two hours from the UK. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Florence came in a number 11 when it comes to the world's best cities Credit: Alamy 7 The Ponte Vecchio in Florence has beautiful views and is great for a picture Credit: Getty Travel + Leisure readers voted for their favourite worldwide cities, and Florence came in at number 11 with a reader score of 90.08 out of 100. Voters praised the capital of Tuscany for its shopping, quality of hotels as well as artistic treasures. There was an honourable mention of the Ponte Vecchio for its incredible views. Florence is considered a romantic city, full of beautiful architecture like the Duomo cathedral, which has its own piazza. It's the ideal destination for art lovers too as its home to work by Michelangelo, Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci. Just because it's a hub of culture, doesn't mean that it's necessarily costly. In fact in Florence you can pick up slices for pizza for €1.50 (£1.30) and pasta dishes from €5 (£4.33). Florence is 80 miles inland, but you could still be at the beach in an hour and a half. Or even head over to Pisa which is an hour and a half by both car and rail. One Sun Travel writer travelled to Florence where she tried olive oil tasting, and checked out the famous sites. You can fly directly from London Gatwick to Florence in two hours 25 minutes. San Sebastian cider season 7 Seville is one of the most popular cities - and it two and a half hours away from the UK Credit: Alamy 7 There's plenty of beautiful architecture around the city Credit: Alamy Seville came in twelfth place with a reader score of 89.49. It was described as offering a "window on thousands of years of history" with its best site being Alcázar Palace. The Spanish city is famous for its Cathedral and Plaza de España. It's also famous for tapas, Seville orange trees and the traditional art of flamenco - if you're lucky, you'll catch some dancers in the street. Deputy Travel Editor Kara Godfrey visited the city earlier this year - and ventured out on a secret food tour in the southern district of Triana. For anyone wanting to visit Seville Cathedral, Kara discovered 100 free tickets are given out at a certain time of day. You can fly directly from London Gatwick to Seville in two hours 40 minutes. 7 Porto has plenty to offer and it's two hours and 20 minutes away from the UK Credit: Alamy 7 The city is famous for it's port production Credit: Getty Porto, in the northwest of Portugal, is little but packs a punch. The colourful city came in 24th place on the list of Top 25 best cities - and was awarded a reader score of 88.24. Porto is filled with restaurants and bars and, of course, is known for its port wine production. Readers of Travel + Leisure said they love the city because of it's "wine-soaked culture". Porto is found on the River Douro where visitors can take a boat trip or even head down it on a kayak. When one writer visited last year, he couldn't get enough of the custard tarts, or pastel de nata, which he said you can pick up on every street for around €1. And of course there are vineyards aplenty and an opportunity to do tastings all around the city. Brits can fly directly to Porto from several UK airports, including London Gatwick, which takes two hours 20 minutes. These Are The 25 Best Cities For 2025 San Miguel de Allende, Mexico Chiang Mai, Thailand Tokyo, Japan Bangkok, Thailand Jaipur, India Hoi An, Vietnam Mexico City, Mexico Kyoto, Japan Ubud, Bali Cuzco, Peru Florence, Italy Seville, Spain Granada, Spain Istanbul, Turkey Siem Reap, Cambodia Mumbai, India Cape Town, South Africa Rome, Italy Santa Fe, New Mexico Agra, India Oaxaca, Mexico Mendoza, Argentina Siena, Italy Porto, Portugal Mérida, Mexico Here are 20 of Europe's most beautiful islands that have direct flights from the UK - with the world's best beaches.
