In Spain, there are no ALL Inclusive, so the problem of "ugly bread" is sharp. That’s about food and let’s talk first. Prices are relevant for 2020.
Important note! Prices for food can differ significantly from the resort to the resort. Now we give average prices in cities. But in the cafe near the beach hotel prices may be above up to 2 times.
How much cost to eat in the cafe
Breakfast from scrambled eggs with bacon, toast and cups of coffee costs 6-8 euros.
Lunch or dinner from the main dish and side dishes, or Palelia will cost 8-12.
In the cities in many cafes offer business lunch, it is called "Menu Del D&# 237; A ». It is usually served from 12-00 to 16-00 (during the siesta) and only on weekdays. In business lunch included: snack, main dish, drink, sometimes dessert. Price – 12-16 euros.
Also in the cafe often served sandwiches or crooks with filling from Hamon, cheese, vegetables. The price of such a snack – 4-6 euros, depends on the composition and volume of the filling.
Alternative – supermarket cooking
This is now the main trend in the Retail product in Europe, and in Russia in supermarkets, cooking appears actively. In many major supermarkets in Spain, there is not only a cooking department, but also seats where you can eat. It is a pity that large supermarkets are rare in resort areas.
In cooking, get the same as in the cafe, only 1.5 times cheaper, and is 2 times cheaper. Use this opportunity if it introduces.
Street Fud and Fast Fud
Feed in Street Fudges in Spanish standards, but expensive according to our standards. Shawarma or big sandwich cost 3-4 euros, a piece of pizza or the Empanad Pie – 2-3.
In Spain, there are all the familiar network of fast foods: McDonald’s, Kfc, Burger King, Pizza Hut. But prices clearly do not please. McDonald’s Big Mac stands 4.45 euros, hamburger or chicenburger – 1, Cheeseburger – 1.3. Combo McMenu with Big Mac – 6.45, 9 Nuggets – 4.6.
Be sure to go to "100 Montaditos" – this is the famous Spanish Network of Fast Foods. Also interesting "Las Fritas", "Taco Alto", "Taco Bell". Although the last two are not national Spanish, but very interesting.
How much does it cost in restaurants
In a good restaurant, the price of the main dish can reach up to 20 euros, however, the size of the portions here is large. For a full dinner or dinner, prepare 25-40 euros per person.
Alternative – buffet
Some establishments arrange meals on the buffet system. That is, pay a fixed amount and you can eat as much as it gets into the gastrointestinal tract.
Look at the restaurants inscription "Buffet". The usual access price is from 10 to 20 euros, it depends primarily from the set of dishes.
Some tourists are trying to save and eat so once a day. It turns out profitable, but for health it is not at all useful. We do not recommend such a way of savings.

Stores prices: Baton Bread – 0.6 euros; Potatoes – 1-1.5 per kilogram; Milk – from 0.6 per liter; pork without dice – from 9 per kilogram; Pasta – about 1 per 500 grams.
