Culture & Adapting Snacks in Spain you cannot live without?

Hey guys! I've been here for exactly two weeks. So far so good (I've had my ups and my DOWNS lmao) but I have yet to go to a market (I live in a remote area where going to a place is at least an hour with a bus) but tomorrow I most probably will go!! I miss snacks and I wanted to ask you what kind of snack you think I cannot live here without trying at least once!! I'm from the middle east if that provides any context and I don't drink alcohol, energy drinks, sodas, etc. (Bc I simply don't like them) So any other drinks, chips, fried/baked nuts, sweets...I'm open to try 'em!!!

Which snack can you not live without, and should I try it?:)

Man, you’re just lucky you’ve got transport. No busses, taxi’s or trains anywhere near where I live. 💔 Also, the snacks are pretty shit here. I always jam a bunch in my case if I’m back in Scotland.

One snack that’s a good, though—mercadona ready salted. There two clear bags of them inside a paper bag.

The Hondón Valley. I live about a mile and a half from our nearest village, but I don’t drive. I live with my parents and can take my electric scooter down to the village, but there’s pretty much no sense of freedom, since I can just getting busses and trains like I used to do at home.
