British Products

The amount of British people on the costa tropical has declined since Brexit. Many of the British people who live on the coast did not realise how badly they were shooting themselves in the foot by voting for Brexit. Now you hear them calculating how they they can use their 90 day allowance. There used to be several British bars, but now all of them have closed.  Gone are the days when the British would be sitting there reading last Tuesday's Daily Express, munching on a cornish pasty and complaining about immigrants.  However there are still some places where you can get marmite and other British stuff.  

Almuñecar has some places which sell British products.
 

Spa

The biggest selection by far is the  Spar Supermarket in Calle Bikini.

It was recently sold and I am not sure if it will continue the same.

There is another one called Olivares next to the Mercadona supermarket.
As well as English products Olivares also has a lot of German and Scandinavian products.

Most of the products are fairly expensive. 

The only thing I miss is marmite. 

We buy 6X 600 gram tubs of marmite on amazon.es 

It costs about 115 euros put it keeps us supplied for over a year. 

It seems to come from Portugal. Never buy anything from Britain, the import duty is very high. 

Hopefully by the time you are reading this the British will have signed a free market deal with the EU and you can go back to importing stuff from the UK. 

By the way

The products in the photo at the top of this page are from my own kitchen. Many of them can be made by following recipes on internet. However, marmite, worcestershite sauce, colemans mustard,  pataks pickle are very difficult to replicate.  I have tried making HP sauce with tamarind and the result was better than the original same as Branston pickle. 

You will be please to know that British style tea such as tetleys is available in Spanish supermarkets. You can get Tetleys and PG tips at Mercadona and Typhoo at Llidl.
