Spain
Where will I buy groceries and do other shopping in Spain?
When we asked people living in Spain about good local restaurants, they mentioned...
"Every corner has a local grocer. There is also Carrefour and the Corte Ingles mid-town. We also found two great small Asian markets, one Chinese, one with Indian food," said another expat in Granada, Spain.
"People living in Spain typically buy groceries from local supermarkets, such as Mercadona, Carrefour, and El Corte Inglés. They also shop at local markets, such as La Boqueria in Barcelona, for fresh produce and other items. Additionally, people in Spain often shop at smaller, independent stores for specialty items. For other shopping, people in Spain often visit shopping malls, such as Centro Comercial Gran Vía in Madrid, or shop online," wrote a member who made the move to Spain.
