Not all supermarkets are the same distance, depending on where you’re staying in Playa Blanca. Here’s a guide to the best options based on location and what you need, so you don’t waste time searching around.

Near the Bus Station / Town Centre

If you’re in the centre of Playa Blanca, near the bus station or the main area, you’ve got the option of the HiperDino Express on Paseo LASAL. It’s perfect for quick shopping – from snacks to toiletries.

There’s also a SPAR, offering a good range of fresh and local products. Both are within walking distance, ideal if you want to avoid carrying heavy bags. Plus, they’re close to bars and shops – perfect for combining your shopping with a stroll.

Marina Rubicón and Papagayo Area

In Marina Rubicón, the El Pueblo Shopping Centre has a HiperDino with a more varied stock – ideal for a big shop. You’ll find everything from meat to cleaning products.

If you’re near Avenida Papagayo, the Overseas British Supermarket is great for those looking for British brands, though prices tend to be slightly higher. The Marina Rubicón area is also great for a walk after shopping.

Montaña Roja

If you’re staying around Montaña Roja, options are more limited, but SPAR Aljibes is an excellent choice. It offers fresh fruit, baked goods, and a good variety of local products.

Mercadona in Yaiza is also nearby, around 10 minutes by car, ideal for your weekly shop at a fair price.

Quick Evening / Night Shops

If you’ve arrived late and need something in a hurry, HiperDino Express shops in tourist areas usually stay open until 21:00 or 22:00 – perfect for last-minute essentials. Small convenience stores in the centre are also available, though slightly pricier.
