Does anyone know the translation or name of cranberries?

I have tried several places and they are all trying to sell me blueberries, another place had what looked like cranberries but she said they were grosellas, which in my dictionary are currants.

This could be an expensive mistake at 5.95 for a  3 ouce tub, especially as I need 12 ozs of the damned things.

The Spanish obviously dont have cranberry sauce, either freshly made or out of a jar, as it's proving a nightmare to find.

Jools, the name in Spanish is: Arándano rojo

The latin name is Vaccinium Oxycoccos and when you type this into google.es it comes up with Arándano rojo.

Here's a link to confirm it...http://gallery.new-ecopsychology.org/es/photo/cranberries_%28vaccinium_oxycoccos...

Hope you can find some.

Thanks Guys,

Went to Tortosa this morning expecting the Tesco/Sainsbury's type fight down the aisles, with mile long queue's at the tills.....................but at 9.30am Lidl was virtually empty with one young 'chico' on the till, amazing, I bought the cranberries, and other stuff that wasn't really on the list, but hey it's Christmas.

We now have beautiful home made cranberry sauce for tomorrow, with a touch too much cognac.......

Thanks again, and all the best.
