Mercadona is a popular Spanish supermarket chain that offers a wide range of products, including fresh produce, meat, fish, and bakery items. There is a Mercadona supermarket located nearby on the service road by the motorway. There is easy parking below the store in their underground car park. This is where Stephanie and I do most of our weekly shopping. It is a place you will meet up with other known residents. We personally like Mercadona as it has high turnover year-round and therefore very fresh perishables.
