Not necessarily true. Restictions will definitely apply to foodstuffs even within the European Union. Even items that are normally allowed are sometimes restricted in special circumstances: Foot & Mouth Disease, Avian Flu, etc. You need to specifically check with the Spanish authorities. The official Spanish tourist website says the following:
http://www.spain.info/TourSpain/Info...tm?Language=EN
'According to European Commission regulations, travellers may not bring foodstuffs of animal origin into Spain as part of their baggage (meats, meat products, milk and dairy products). The only exceptions to this are powdered milk for children in commercial packaging, and special foodstuffs required for medical conditions. Other foodstuffs can be brought into Spain up to a maximum weight of one kilogram.
Travellers are permitted to bring personal baggage into Spain, including items for personal or family use, or to be given as presents. These will not be considered as commercial goods regardless of the quantity or type of goods. This appraisal will be carried out by the customs services on arrival.
Sums of money in excess of 6,010.12 Euro must be declared. Currently, over 18s are authorised to carry 200 cigarettes, or 100 cheroots, or 50 cigars, or 250 grams of rolling tobacco. As far as alcohol is concerned, you are allowed to bring in one litre of drink (over 22% alc. by volume), or two litres (under 22% alc. by volume). Perfumes are also limited to 50 grams of perfume and 0.25 litres of eau de toilette.'
This could cost you money if you ignore it so take advice. I am not an expert.
