Today we’re looking at Spanish supermarkets near me, here in and around Quesada.
If you’ve recently moved to Spain’s beautiful Costa Blanca, one of the first things you’ll need to get to grips with is where to do your grocery shopping. Spain has a fantastic range of supermarkets, from massive hypermarkets to smaller, more specialised stores. Each one has its own strengths, whether it’s great value, top-quality fresh produce, or convenient online shopping options. To help you out, here’s a breakdown of 15 of the most popular supermarkets in Spain, highlighting their pros and cons, what they’re best known for, and whether they offer online ordering or home delivery.
1. Mercadona
✅ Pros: Excellent quality fresh produce, great value for money, own-brand products are superb.
❌ Cons: Limited international products, no loyalty card scheme.
🛒 Best for: Overall grocery shopping, fresh food.
📦 Online/Delivery: Yes, home delivery and click & collect available in many areas.
Mercadona is Spain’s leading supermarket chain and a favourite among locals and expats alike. Their fresh food counters, particularly for meat and fish, are well-regarded, and their own-brand range, Hacendado, is excellent.
This is number one of our Spanish supermarkets near me list, because we use them for home deliveries. Unlike UK supermarkets that pick and pack in the store, these guys do it from their warehouse. We have NEVER, had anything missing, out of stock or swapped out!
2. Carrefour
✅ Pros: Huge range of products, including international brands. Good organic and eco-friendly selection.
❌ Cons: Can be more expensive than other supermarkets.
🛒 Best for: Bulk shopping, international products, organic goods.
📦 Online/Delivery: Yes, home delivery and click & collect options available.
Carrefour is a French hypermarket that offers a massive selection, from groceries to electronics and clothing. Their international food section is one of the best, making it a go-to for expats and they’re second on our Spanish supermarkets near me list.
The Torrevieja and also Elche stores are a 20 minutes drive to either.
3. Lidl
✅ Pros: Fantastic value, great quality fruit and veg, good bakery section.
❌ Cons: Limited branded products, not as extensive as larger supermarkets.
🛒 Best for: Bargains, fresh produce.
📦 Online/Delivery: No.
Lidl is perfect for picking up essentials at low prices. Their weekly ‘middle aisle’ specials are also worth checking out for household and DIY bargains.
Our closest large stores are in Ciudad Quesada, which is fine out of season, but a nightmare when the tourists are across. The Almoradi one is better.
4. Aldi
✅ Pros: Competitive prices, great quality fresh produce, good selection of organic food.
❌ Cons: Limited range compared to larger supermarkets.
🛒 Best for: Budget-conscious shoppers, organic products.
📦 Online/Delivery: No.
Aldi is similar to Lidl in terms of pricing and selection, with an emphasis on fresh, organic, and healthy food options.
The nearest for us is Callosa but there’s also one near Consum in Ciudad Quesada, a stones throw from El Faro bar.
5. Eroski
✅ Pros: Good quality products, often stocks British and international brands.
❌ Cons: More expensive than discount supermarkets.
🛒 Best for: Variety, quality, international food options.
📦 Online/Delivery: Yes, but availability depends on location.
Eroski is popular in northern Spain and has a good balance between quality and price. They also cater well to British expats looking for familiar brands.
