Aldi started in Germany but has stores all over the world, with Aldi Nord operating in countries including Portugal and Spain, and Aldi Süd operating in the likes of Australia, United Kingdom and the United States.
The popular supermarket's latest venture is an expansion across Spain, with nearly 50 new stores opening in 2024.
This is great news for expats who have relocated to Spain, and tourists who are visiting the sunny country on holiday.
It is also exciting for Spanish residents, who will benefit from more access to the cost-conscious supermarket.
Aldi will be opening nearly 50 stores in Spain this year
