Lots of yummy cakes and pies, loved by locals and inexpensive!…read more Conchi Rivera bakery is located in the Torrevieja city center, within short walking distance from Plaza de la Constitución and Paseo Vista Alegre. I try to avoid foods loaded with sugar but I just can't resist entering when I pass by. They bake themselves - showcases are full of desserts of any kind, just made. It is fun to examine stuff and take pictures, everything is well lit. Coffee is good. There are themed cakes on Easter, Christmas, Reyes Magos (The Three Kings), Halloween and other holidays. There's indoor and outdoor seating. They don't have WiFi of their own and advice to connect to municipal library's WiFi (next building). Will try that next time. The bathroom is hidden in the private area, ask them how to get there. I will be back and again I will have to run away from there before I eat all their stock :)

The store is not exclusive to Iceland products, they have items from waitrose, Morrison and others…read moreproviding a wide range of English itemsThe store is well laid out and adequately staffed with pleasant and efficient members to assist but this comes at a premium price, so if it has to be Heinz it will be here but your paying to transport it to Spain .

Iceland is a British food retailer (850+ stores in the UK) which sells mostly frozen food (hence…read morethe name). There are some 14 stores in Spain operated by their local partner (Overseas Imports S.L.). They also sell products from Waitrose, another British retailer. The concept is quite unique. Almost all food and drinks are imported to Spain from the UK (including bread, milk, soft drinks etc) while other foreign retailers in Spain carry a mix of mostly local Spanish food and some imported food (French Carrefour, German LIDL and Aldi). Iceland is different, it serves real fans who prefer frozen food from the UK over the fresh food grown in Spain :) I found a frozen paella (manufactured in Spain), it probably traveled from Spain to the UK and back! The store in Torrevieja opened in 2008. All staff is English and they are always polite and helpful. The store is kept in good order. There's a small cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. The location serves as a networking point for expats. There's an "Hablamos Español" announcement at entrance, looks like they want to attract more Spanish customers. I shop here from time to time and I personally recommend beers and frozen desserts. Frozen ready meals are great too if you want to stock up some food to avoid frequent visits to food stores. If you never visited Iceland - you really should, after all this is the only place in Spain where "Diet Coke" is "Diet Coke" not "Coca Cola Light" :) It was fun to find out recently: Iceland the retailer operates three supermarkets in Iceland the country (since 2012).
