A British ex-pat has raved over a Spanish shop that is “far superior to most supermarkets in the UK”.

Carolina Cornell, who originally comes from Taunton, Somerset, reviewed her local Mercadona supermarket and gave her top tips for what to buy while on holiday.

She first visited the booze section, where they have a “great selection of different wines”.

Carolina, who has lived on Spain’s Costa del Sol for 11 years, noted her preference for “semi-sweet white wine” and showed off a bottle of La Distinguida for just £2.30 (€2.65).

Her favourite bottle of Árabe comes in at just over £3.47 (€4).

The 33-year-old then reviewed Mercadona’s crisps section, recommending a home-brand packet of nachos that is best accompanied with a tub of guacamole.

Next up, she showed off the soft drinks section, highlighting a new cherry juice for just £0.95 (€1.10) and a carton of coconut water for just £2.25 (€2.60).

Carolina then visited the skincare aisle where Mercadona has “so many amazing items at really good prices”.

She also waxed lyrical over their gluten-free products and range of herbal teas.

In a follow-up video titled ‘Mercadona faves part 2’, Carolina recommended the supermarket chain’s tinned clam and tuna products.

She then showed their packaged lemon chicken pieces, “which are great in the air fryer”.

Carolina also visited the cheese and ready-made meals aisles, which included lasagne and meatballs.

She said: “If you like fresh fish, they also have a big fresh fish counter.

“This frozen wild salmon is super well priced. I always buy this.”

She also visited the supermarket’s “best selection of ice creams” and recommended her favourite products from the huge freezer.

She shared the videos on her TikTok page with the message: “If you’re anything like me, I just love a browse in different supermarkets and seeing what other people buy.

“Even more so if it’s on holiday!”

Carolina said the prices have definitely gone up in recent years, especially the last 12 months.

“However, the quality and freshness of the products are far superior to most supermarkets in the UK,” she told What’s The Jam.

“A lot is grown and sourced locally in Spain, so you can really tell it’s fresh.”

Online users flocked to the comments of Carolina’s TikTok video.

One local said: “Great store!”

Sophie added: “Love this video, saved!”
