These are pictures of the supermarket that is in the basement of a mall called El Corte Ingles. It's like a Publix Supermarket. First I have to say, I have no idea how to manipulate my text with the pictures so however it comes out is out of my control. Anyway, the first picture is of part of the seafood department. There are about 8 different types of shrimp, praws and Langostino's. They told me I cant take pictures so I didn't get one of the actual fish, to the left. Many, Many different types of fish & eel's. Usually whole fish and even live fish.
Next you will see all the Jamon Serrano's hanging. There must have been 100 of these. This ham is like Italian Procutto. Some of the pigs (cerdo) are farm raised and some are raised in the mountians free range. These are the most expensive and the have black hooves. They take the whole ham leg and place in in a carving rack then slice off thin pieces for you. I have never seen them put any ham on an electric slicer but I'm sure the do once they take it off the bone. The price can range from 10 euro/kilo to 145 euro/kilo. A kilo is about 2.2 pounds.
The last picture is an example of how close these folks park next to each other. This picture is not unusual. The cars are usually parked less than a foot apart. There are NO TRUCKs and No SUV's. There are 90% compact cars, Sabb, Peugot, Audi, Mercedes, Fords. Every now and then I see an expensive Benz or Audi sedan. The richer people live in apartments with underground parking. There are also hundreds and hundreds of mopeds & motorcyles (moto's)
