You can't get fresh olives...  Fresh olives are picked off the
tree.  Olives you get are brined.  I've tried eating olives "fresh" and it
really sucks, whereas a good olive well brined is good.

Depending on the supermarket, you can get pretty decent olives there.  Used
to pick up some real decent stuff at the local Jewel-Osco in Chicagoland.

Saddly, I'm not familiar with Spaniard stuff.  Greek, I have a good handle
on, but not Spain :-(
