Easter is on its way, but if you have friends or relatives living on the Costas, the only way they will be able to celebrate Easter UK-style - is if you send a parcel to Spain with the necessary home comforts.

Easter is a very different affair in Spain, with a much more overtly religious theme, and to our eyes, one with very unusual, traditions.

Indeed, we are now in the midst of "Semana Santa" which began on Sunday – Palm Sunday – and culminates next Monday.

Huge processions of masked worshippers will be filling the streets of Spanish cities next weekend.

Chocolate eggs and easter bunnies are hard to come by in Spain.

Sending a parcel to Spain filled with British goodies will help relieve homesickness.

If you are lucky, maybe they will send you a parcel back from Spain full of Spanish Easter fare, like the La Mona cakes or delicious torrijas.
