EL CORTE INGLÉS OUTLET

The El Corte Inglés Outlet in Benidorm and Finestrat deserves a special mention. If you’re looking for real bargains without caring too much about passing trends or seasons, this is undoubtedly a cult place for your shopping day. Try to avoid weekends, as it’s a very busy place, and although it has independent access to the shopping center and a large parking lot, it usually fills up.

BENIDORM SHOPPING CENTER

The Benidorm shopping center is a project currently in the urbanization phase of the industrial estate where it will be located; construction of the building itself has not yet started, and there is no officially confirmed opening date. In the meantime, Benidorm has a large number of small businesses selling high-quality products.

You can find them, mostly, in the center of Benidorm.

SHOPPING IN DOWNTOWN BENIDORM

Let’s talk about one of the city’s biggest attractions, which is walking while doing some shopping and enjoying a drink on a terrace. And most importantly, with a very interesting schedule, as they usually stay open until late at night.

The main shopping streets in Benidorm are:

• Gambo: you’ll find Zara Benidorm, Massimo Dutti, Boston or Perfumerías Avenida, with great deals on cosmetic brands and perfumes. Also home to Lottery Administration number 4 of Benidorm.
• Martinez Alejos: the avenue that leads to Levante Beach from the famous Cafetería la Creu. On the way to the beach there are stores such as Tiger, Cool, BASE (with its two floors of sports brands), Douglas perfumery, Di Marco Jewelry, or the famous Pinocchio ice cream shop.
• Paseo de la Carretera: probably the most famous street in Benidorm, home to the first lottery administration, the first tobacco shop, and the oldest pharmacy in the city. It connects the city center with the port and the start of Poniente Beach. It has clothing stores, galleries connecting with Plaza Mayor, and a great diversity of shops such as fur shops, opticians, jewelers, souvenir shops, or leather goods stores. Almost at the port is Cool Meeting, a multi-story store with fashion and brand offers.
• Tomas Ortuño: recently pedestrianized, with a good number of boutiques and shops, near the municipal market and the Calvari museum (with exhibitions about Benidorm).
• Alameda: from Cafetería La Creu, past the famous palm tree, this street starts the way to Benidorm Castle. It gives access to the slope towards the square of Santa Ana and San Jaime Church. It has Ibiza-style clothing stores, footwear deals, boutiques, and terraces.

In the first four, you’ll find small shops with diverse items: shoes, clothing, fashion and accessories, home decor, candles, or bargains. All mixed with some frozen yogurt shops, incredible waffles, artisanal ice creams, beer houses, or pintxos.
