What do you miss most
Well we have about 3 weeks left before we go and I am trying to gather a list of things that people miss the most from the UK so I can make sure I prepare myself and buy it all in bulk to take with me, I know the obvious things like teabags and quality brown sauce can anyone think of anything else I may have forgotten or may have trouble getting over in Spain.
Oh and by the way how do you get your thread headings in bold I have tried allsorts with no luck. |

Re: What do you miss most
As Rosemary said, you can buy ANYTHING here, so no need for excess luggage, maybe put some medicines in that you use, ie something for tummy bugs, head aches etc., but once you have been here awhile you will find that Spanish equivalents are just as good and cheaper.

Re: What do you miss most
Found you can buy most things but I find Marmite expensive!

Re: What do you miss most
The only things I cant get hold of over here are salad cream, corned beef and bombay potato mix. Apart from those we can get everything else.

If it is a coastal expat area then like everyone says, there is nothing that you can´t buy. If you are somewhere else though you will find international food stuffs very hard to come by. |
Re: What do you miss most
We are going to Hondon Frailes and I know they have a Mercadona in Aspe and a Carrefour in Torrevieja but was just curious, looks like I have got nothing to worry about its just things like the food we buy for our dogs as we buy them Burns frozen Chicken,Beef and Lamb chunks and have,nt seen anything similar as yet.
And I,m sure I have seen Corned Beef and Salad Cream in Carrefour its Brown Sauce I,m more concerned with for my Sausage Butties. |

Re: What do you miss most
How did you do that ? title thread bold ??????

Re: What do you miss most
Paracetemol & Codeine tablets ........ if you take them then bring some. The alternative here seem to be high dosage codeine tablets which I'm not too keen on taking
You can get most things here, but go for the Spanish equivalent which you will find cheaper, and in many cases better quality! |
Re: What do you miss most
So can anyone recommend any good Spanish teabags I normally buy Tetley or PG.
