There's a great shop in Barcelona, with (as far as I know) two branches, one in Gracia and another in the Eixample. I bought Dr Pepper there a few weeks back, and they have plenty of other international food and drinks (including a pretty decent US section)

There is also an English chip shop on Rambla de Raval, which sells all sorts of fizzy drinks.

They have Irn-Bru, Dr Pepper, Vimto, Dandelion & Burdock, Cherry Coke, and various others.

The address is Rambla de Raval 26.

The food is not great by any stretch of the imagination, but they do sell Dr. Pepper, etc. as well as a few other English products that are tricky to find elsewhere.

They have a website: fishandchipsbarcelona.com

You can also buy Dr Pepper at 'A taste of Home'. They are in Calle Floridablanca, I don't remember the number. They have quite a wide range of products, but they seem horribly overpriced to me.

Their website is: atasteofhome.eu.com

The cost of transporting food from the UK is very high. Also there is no IVA on food in the UK. As soon as it arrives here, IVA has to be paid. Buying from UK wholesalers is not the same as buying from Asda or Tesco. It is a lot more expensive

You can get Dr Pepper at some Carrefours, i.e. the extra-large ones called Carrefour Planet, e.g., at the Gran Via II and La Maqunista shopping centers. They are stocked in the imported food sections. The shipments come in only about once a month or so, therefore they tend to sell out quickly.

There is a "Taste of America" shop here in Barcelona as well:

Carrer Balmes 322

Yes you can buy Dr. Pepper in the Carrefour in La Maquinista mall, it is the cheapest place to buy it 88cents a can. At least that is the cheapest I've ever found it.

Best of luck!
