'I visited a UK supermarket in Spain - the food is weird but I could live off one thing'

A young Spanish TikToker with British roots, Archie, has claimed that Alicante, a city in Spain, feels like a 'British colony in disguise'. The city, located on the beautiful Costa Blanca, is a favourite among tourists for its sun-soaked beaches and rich culture and history.

Alicante is a popular destination for British expats, particularly in the southern part of the city, according to Archie. In a recent TikTok video, he gave viewers a tour of The Food Co, a British supermarket with several branches across Spain.

In his video, Archie commented: "The south of Alicante is a British colony in disguise. There are signs in English and there is even a British supermarket that is all in English.

"All signs are in English and below in Spanish. Regarding drinks, we can see Irn Bru, there is also Ribena or even Dr Pepper. These are my favourite crisps, Space Raiders. I can only eat them when I go to England and what a pleasure to know that I have them 20 minutes from my house."

However, he noted that certain products such as meat and vegetables are likely sourced locally due to import difficulties. He added: "As for the meat, I imagine it's a bit more difficult to import, and the brand they have is El Pozo. This is Spanish meat."

In the video, Archie is heard interacting with a staff member, who confirmed that most of their products are UK-sourced, except for certain items like vegetables. They said: "More or less yes, apart from vegetables, which are from Spain."

Archie mentioned he was in the shop with his father to purchase chocolates, particularly Walnut Whip. He also endorsed Hula Hoops to his followers, expressing his fondness for them.

He mused: "Now that I'm thinking about it, it would be really cool to make a video with
