They have a whole rack of different sherries. One row is all cream sherries from pale cream upwards. Another is full of Pedro Ximinez from fino to dulce. This, along with everything else they sell (beers from Guinness, Coors, Peroni and all the Spanish ones) etc has now made this my favourite shop in the whole of Spain. Not to mention the displays of cheeses, hams and gourmet crisps and snacks

Got a bottle of Glayva, a bottle of Offley's Ruby port and a 12 pack of Mahou for 35 euro.
Sherry ranged from about 5 euro a bottle upwards with most of the cream sherries around 6 to 8 euro.

Sounds like "died and went to heaven" territory. Definitely somewhere that needs to be on on my " urgent appointment" list...so is it on the way in direction from past Valentin Garden centre?

Past the garden centre then the slip road on the right that takes you to the hotel and DIY shop. Follow the road around and there is a big sign on the corner saying Bodega/Wine Shop 50 metres. Just up on the right. Huge warehouse but the entrance to the shop is quite small and quite easily missed.
Like Aladdin's Cave when you walk in, though.

It's all Spanish sherry. Regardless if you buy it in UK, Outer Mongolia or Spain.
It's all Spanish.

I understood that to be called Sherry it has to be produced in Spain, if not it is not Sherry ??

I buy Mercadona’s own brand. I think it taste just like Harvey’s cream, only it costs a fraction of the price!
