I watched a couple of reports on the news last night about supermarket shelves being empty in Madrid ( And all over Spain ) , and the fact that many restaurants are not able to offer complete "menu del dias " due to no deliveries ... I was a little sceptical thinking maybe it was exaggerated by the press .
That was until 20 minutes ago when I went to my local supermarket .. well-known , average sized store and found the shelves empty !
Yep .. Almost no fish and meat .. Milk and water at minimum levels .. No rice ! , maybe 3 bags of pasta ... So it IS true !
I decided to stock up on milk and some tinned products "just in case " .. And will be searching a bigger supermarket for pasta and rice .
This has the hallmarks of getting worse before it gets better .
