There are clients who know all Mercadona products perfectly. It doesn’t matter if they go shopping at the supermarket in their city or if they go to another when they are traveling. The result is the same. However, the story changes when they leave Spain, because there are many things that are the same to us, even if it is the same supermarket chain.
“We are going to see some of the differences between the Portuguese Mercadona and the Spanish Mercadona,” explains a TikTok user, to the astonishment of others, who did not know that the Valencian company also had supermarkets in other European countries.
As he explains in his tour, the vast majority of the products are the same. This is the case of the fruit shop, the food area and the kitchen. “What’s more, I saw products in the ham area and in the pizza area that were written in Spanish. Although there are formats like coffee that do change a lot,” he continues.
However, it has found some relevant differences. “The biggest changes are Portuguese cuisine, such as sour soup or cod,” explains this buyer.
But the changes don’t end there. If we buy in a Mercadona in Portugal, in the pastries area we will find the very famous Portuguese pastels de nata. In addition, we can buy a piece of “dried cod in the fish market area.”
