If you come to San Sebastian and the airlines lose your luggage (like they did mine) Arrco is a…read moregood spot to hit. It was a ten minute walk from my hotel which was an added bonus. They also have a parking garage underneath and bus stop and taxi lane right outside. Most of the stores in San Sebastian are specialty shops and you could easily spend a few hours walking between all of them just to get a complete change of clothes, and usually won't find everything you need. A little frustrating for us Americans accustomed to having everything under one roof. Arrco had everything I needed. The below ground level is a food store where you can get all your grocery shopping done and pick up any hygeine/cosmetic gear you require. They also have a decent selection of beer and liquor. The street and upper levels have clothing stores and spots to grab a quick drink, coffe, or light snack. I was able to buy a few outfits to replace the ones lost in my checked bag, soap, shampoo, etc., beer, as well as a backpack to tote it all back to the hotel in. Finally drinking cold beer and getting a shave! A very productive day!

The range of food alone is mind boggling from live mussels, clams and whelks to fresh cream laden tarts, cakes and mille-feuille; fresh goat cheese from around a euro and made in - house sushi with easily enough for two at 14 euro. They even pre make various bubble teas. Then hundreds and hundreds of types of wine by the bottle, barrel and tetra pack and many hundreds of types of spirits from eau de vie, myriad fruit liqueurs, cognacs, rums of every hue, whiskies, beers up to 14 proof from €2. Then every part of a cow, a sheep and a pig. Maybe even horse. Fresh and tinned foie gras goose, duck. Live and frozen snails. The fish counter, like the bakery counter is huge with ice being spread over fish almost continuously; live oysters around a euro, lobsters around €20 and crab under €10 pick your own. There were more varieties of fresh fish in one corner of this store than in all the supermarket fish counters put together in a 40 mile radius of my home town. Our dislike of fresh fish for small island nation is shocking when we are surrounded by the best fish in the world. Breads from a euro cooked throughout the day. There is so many varieties of cheese alone it will spin your head from fresh cheeses around a euro that will sit in the palm of your hand to wheels of hard cheese that you'd need a wheelbarrow to transport. I picked up a deal on Perrier sparkling water at under 50 cents a litre (small bubbles). But I can buy French champagne at home at more competitive prices. Then clothing departments, car parts, caravan parts, tents and parts, buy a trailer or a roof box, even book a holiday in their travel department should you fancy a trip to the Antarctic. We dined in their in store restaurant, I think a salad starter, main, dessert and cappuccino for two under 25 euro and when we left their free car park we filled fill with their brand of diesel.

The store is located in a moderately sized shopping mall on the main street on the way to Pau centre. There is ample parking outside and plenty of places to return your cart. There are several great things about this store. First, there are wide aisles so you can easily navigate your cart. There is a wonderful bakery that has a lovely selection of breads, patisserie, macarons and pizzas. The store also has a great sushi bar where plates are prepared in-house. The international section has items that I haven't found in any other store, particularly their north African and Middle Eastern options. A great selection of wine, liquor and small craft beers are also on offer. If this store were closer, I would frequent it more often.

Dejé un tostador en la caja y le dije a un dependiente que regresaba con otro pequeño electrodoméstico. Regresé y fui a pagar pero el joven que me había atendido no estaba. Había otro que no me quiso cobrar y de malas maneras me mandó a otra caja en la que había una enorme cola. Me fui sin comprar. Luego se quejan de que compramos en Amazon pero no queda otra para no aguantar malos modales. Intento apoyar el comercio local, incluso siendo más caro, pero ya es una tarea cuesta arriba.
