Hello again:
Is there anything in Spain that cannot be purchased there? Or, are there some things that are abnormally expensive in Spain that should be brought with me when I come to Madrid?
a case of Budwieser?

don't waste your time lugging a case of beer INTO Spain...after tasting all the great beers you will be trying to get some OUT of Spain. After my last visit I vowed never to drink (US) domestic beer again. Why waste the calories on something that has hardly any flavor???

Wine on the other hand, is the main reason I feel like I do this morning.

Even Bud is available in Madrid.

Of those common American foods, I'd say peanut butter.

Wholesale price for bud in Malaga area is 0.60 cents per bottle. U can bring if u want

Oh! Please! You're all making me sick :p with all this talk of CHOOSING to drink/bring Budweiser Beer while in Spain when there are such good beers there, so much better than the p*** water (my own edit) we have made here in the USA.

If you like peanut butter bring that. You CAN find it in Spain but it's difficult and only a few specialty stores carry it.. But in my opinion, if you're in Spain just live as a Spaniard and REALLY experience Spain as it is and not for what it's not.

Saludos, MadridMan

Getting off the subject of beer .... mostly 'cause I'm a wine drinker - peanut butter (already mentioned) and bagels. I do believe there is a bakery in Madrid that actually makes them - but if you really really like bagels - or know someone living in Spain that does - pick-up a couple of dozen as a gift. And no no no - not the frozen Lenders version!

ooh ooh me me!! I looooove bagels!!!! Puna, when are you coming to visit?!! :p

I am very pleased that the only thing that Spain is missing is bagels. Yes Chica, I will bring some if you want me to, I arrive on April 11. The beer thing is cool, I'm sort of hooked on bud but I make my world class lamb stew with guiness. I have had a few hangover problems with the wine. Thank you all. I am now going to post a new question in accomodations. chow

What about Krispy Kreme donuts. Do we have in Spain????? I love em...........

Spain has some Great beers!

I believe the Budweiser you get in Spain is from Scotland (i.e., brewed under license from AB).
Try a draught Mahou in Madrid: that should take your mind off the American 'Bud.'

In the south, drink Cruz Campo, in Galicia it's Estrella de Galicia.
