Great news for visitors on self catering holidays in Benidorm.  Now you can get British food and supplies from the UK at reasonable prices.  The lovely people from Overseas Supermarkets, who have been operating under the Iceland banner since 1997 in the Canary Islands and since 2007 in mainland Spain,  have opened a new store in Benidorm. (Opposite La Marina Shopping Center Finestrat)

Having visited the store on several occasions for some of those provisions you really miss from back home, we have to say that the prices are not that different than the UK.  Given that all food in Spain has VAT from 2% to 18% unlike in the UK where fresh food does not, this is a real surprise.  For too long those of us who live here and of course visitors have been paying way over the odds for the pleasure of some comfort food from back home!  Not anymore.  Of course some products are still expensive but this is too be expected on luxury items, however most (90%) are favourably priced.

On a visit recently there was a bit of a frenzy going on as the store was packed with local Spanish residents new to what Iceland is all about.  I have never seen so many Trolleys full to bursting with frozen fish and ready meals.   These are either not available or very expensive in Spanish Supermarkets.  And too be frank it really makes a change to see freezers that are actually running at the correct temperature control unlike some big name chains in Spain.

With almost the entire range of frozen food from the Iceland brand range available plus over 1,000 well known and popular brands from suppliers such as Waitrose the store is a delight for us ex-pats and will for sure be welcomed by those visitors on Holiday in Benidorm.  With the prices so good we recommend that you grab a bus to the new Iceland Supermarket when you arrive and fill your boots with their offers and great value products!  You will save a fortune compared to shopping in the resorts mini-marts who really do overcharge by far too much.  And too be honest you simply cannot get the range and quality that Iceland Benidorm offers to customers.  As they say “ That´s why Mums go to Iceland” and some Dads too!  A very welcome addition to the local retail offering which will with no doubt go from strength to strength for this dynamic company, who know just what Mum needs to keep the family happy and kids quiet whilst on Holiday.

Store opening times are:

Monday to Saturday 09.00 -20.00 and Sunday 10.00 – 16.00
