Spain Food Post #3: Frozen Yogurt

Spain, in my opinion, has the best frozen yogurt of all time. The one from the U.S. cannot even compete. The yogurt in Spain, and in Europe in general has a different taste, it is sweeter and smoother, and is hard to describe. But when frozen it is so good. Unlike the U.S., it is usually just one flavor, just plain, with sometimes special flavors of the month, for example, mango.
There are two main chains of frozen yogurt places, one called llaollao and the other called smoöy. Llaollao has mostly frozen yogurt while smoöy has chocolate frozen yogurt along with the normal kind, but also crepes and other things. All in all, they are pretty much the same.
This is what happens when you walk in: You pick a size; small, medium, or large. Here is a picture of the menu: (I will be showing pictures from llaollao because that one was more in the part of Spain I went to, and it was the one I had more, but smoöy is more popular.)
Then, you pick your toppings. There is fruit, a bunch of different sauces, and candy.

And then you buy your yogurt. This is an example of what it would look like:

The stores usually have open fronts, no doors, which makes it so much more easier just to go and buy one even when I told myself I wasn't going to spend anymore money that day. I honestly want to go back just for this, but I have seen that they are in other countries as well, so I'm crossing my fingers that one will appear in a country I will visit.
