'I'm a British expat and one Spanish shop is much better than most UK supermarkets'
Carolina Cornell, originally from Taunton, Somerset, adores Mercadona and prefers it to most supermarket brands in the UK, such as Tesco and Sainsbury's and Asda A British expat has raved over a Spanish shop that is "far superior to most supermarkets in the UK". Carolina Cornell, who originally comes from Taunton, Somerset, reviewed her local Mercadona supermarket and gave her top tips for what to buy while on holiday. She first visited the booze section where they have a "great selection of different wines". Carolina, who has lived on Spain's Costa del Sol for 11 years, noted her preference for "semi-sweet white wine" and showed off a bottle of La Distinguida for just £2.30 (€2.65). Her favourite bottle of Árabe comes in at just over £3.47 (€4). The 33-year-old woman then reviewed Mercadona's crisps section, recommending a home-brand packet of nachos that is best accompanied with a tub of guacamole. Next up, she showed off the soft drinks section, highlighting a new cherry juice for just £0.95 (€1.10) and carton of coconut water for just £2.25 (€2.60). Carolina then visited the skincare aisle where Mercadona has "so many amazing items at really good prices". She also waxed lyrical over their gluten-free products and range of herbal teas.

Carolina Wilga: German backpacker discharged from Evangelical Hospital
Backpacker Carolina Wilga has been discharged from a German hospital, almost two weeks after she was found missing in WA's outback. Evangelical Hospital spokesperson Kathrin Simonis on Thursday confirmed Ms Wilga was 'no longer admitted in this hospital', according to News Corp.

A spokesperson for Castrop-Rauxel City's mayoral office said Mayor Rajko Kravanja was 'really, really happy' Ms Wilga was found safe and well. 'He was extremely moved by the entire story with Carolina, but it wasn't of course just about the mayor, it was the whole population here, the people of our town were really moved and and really concerned,' a spokesperson told the masthead on Thursday. 'We are now all so happy that it has ended this way, and that Carolina is now back here in Castrop-Rauxel, and back with her family.' Ms Wilga miraculously survived 11 nights alone in the remote Wheatbelt bush after her crashing her car, hitting her head and wandering off in a state of confusion. She survived by drinking rainwater from puddles and sleeping in a cave before she was spotted by local farmer, Tania French. Ms Wilga spent four nights recovering in Fiona Stanley Hospital before being discharged last Wednesday afternoon. In a statement, Ms Wilga thanked the WA community for their 'outpouring of support'. 'Western Australia has taught me what it really means to be part of a true community,' she said. 'The thought of all the people who believed in me, searched for me, and kept hoping for me gave me the strength to carry on during my darkest moments.' Ms Wilga farewelled Perth in a touching Instagram post at the weekend. 'Reunion with the ocean and a great goodbye to Perth with loooots of hugs ❤️ love you all,' she captioned the since deleted post. She shared several photos of her time in hospital, at Cottesloe Beach with friends, and a front page of The West Australian that featured her dramatic ordeal.

Panthers release veteran linebacker Josey Jewell while still dealing with concussion symptoms from last year
Josey Jewell's time with the Carolina Panthers has come to an end. The Panthers released the veteran linebacker on Tuesday while he continues to experience concussion symptoms that bothered him at the end of last season. Though specifics of those symptoms or Jewell's condition aren't known, he first suffered a concussion in their Week 16 win over the Arizona Cardinals. That knocked him out for the final two games of the year. Advertisement With Jewell still experiencing symptoms from that contest now seven months later, it's easy to understand why he would need to take a step back. The Panthers said that Jewell 'wanted to prioritize his health and recovery and be considerate of his teammates,' so it sounds like the decision to release him was a mutual one. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] The Panthers left the door open for a return in the future, too, though it's unclear when that could happen, if at all. Jewell was selected by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft after a dominant run at Iowa. He spent six seasons with the Broncos before signing a three-year, $18.75 million deal with the Panthers last offseason. Jewell had 97 total tackles and a career-high 3.5 sacks in 12 games last season. Advertisement Jewell's departure is a significant one for the Panthers. They did select Texas A&M's Nic Scourton and Ole Miss' Princely Umanmielen in the second and third rounds of the NFL Draft, respectively, earlier this spring. D.J. Wonnum is available too, though he'll be out early on while recovering from an injury. The Panthers also bolstered their pass rush with former Minnesota Vikings edge Pat Jones, so they still have plenty of options. It will just take some shuffling without one of their top defenders available as they get started in training camp. The Panthers went just 5-12 last season, the first under head coach Dave Canales. They'll open the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 7.
