Costa Blanca
I will be visiting costa blanca next summer
I would like to know if costa blanca is in the custom union for duty free in the tabaco shops as I would like to bring duty free home for family

Any purchases made via the tabac are duty paid in Spain.
Duty free purchases are made at the airport, on the plane, or via ferry services.
Presuming that you are returning to the U.K. your allowances are below
Although this has now made the cost of purchasing cigarettes cheaper since Brexit, you are limited to the amount you can purchase.

I have read the link and understand the allowances are now much less than before Brexit because they are duty free so cheaper. However if purchasing duty paid tobacco from Tabac shops can one bring a supply from those shops as part of the personal allowance of £390 of goods as well as the small allowance of duty free tobacco?
