The difference - this store has a guard who's very busy walking around and watching people. More thieves here than everywhere else? There's a much bigger Carrefour store within a few minutes walk but Mercadona's business is thriving here. This is the optimal size - you can buy almost everything you may need daily.

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).

A supermarket I should have discovered earlier…read more Located close to a much larger competitor Mercadona, Manper got lucky in November when Mercadona was closed for a major renovation. Lots of new customers came and I'm sure many will keep shopping here. Awesome meat, bakery and wine sections. Most products looks unsual and different, fan to explore. Jamón is 100% better than in Mercadona and is a bit cheaper. Mercadona is reopened now but I will visit Manper again. Regularly. Recommended.

This short review is about "Roscón de Reyes" (Three Kings Pie) offered by LIDL this year…read more This post is very unlikely to be useful to anyone for two reasons: 1) I'm one of the few yelpers still reviewing anything in Spain. Almost all others stopped several weeks ago when Yelp announced their plans to leave Europe (and all other countries except US and Canada). So, this is mostly just a note to myself for 2018. 2) Reason number two is that rascóns are sold only once a year before the Reyes Magos holiday. Nobody knows what LIDL and their competitors will sell next year. Anyway, this year LIDL brought an awesome product to the market (I tried others too). It tastes better than others. It looks better (important if you post stuff online). It is also 30% cheaper :))) For those who never bought a rascón - be careful, they put a figurine of one of the kings inside every pie. Don't break your teeth! Whoever finds a figurine inside their piece is supposed to get very lucky in the new year. I will buy rascón here in 2018!

Despite being much smaller than their Spanish, German and French competitors HiperBer somehow offers similar prices for similar products. They are probably not big enough to have store brands of their own, so they distribute brands like alteza.es in the lower price range. Not sure what Alteza really is (they didn't bother to add an "about" section to thier website) but I believe they are "the store brand for those who can't afford a store brand of thier own". Overall good store, good service, unusual assortment, worth a visit. Awesome for everyone living within walking distance to the store. Great addition to the retail landscape of Torrevieja! P.S. Also they sell beer brewed by a brewer who couldn't afford to hire a €10/hour proofreader to check their packaging copy!!! Isn't that awesome? I'm in! :)))
