BENIDORM SHOPPING CENTER
The Benidorm shopping center is planned for 2022 and is still under construction. 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. On this street you’ll find Zara Benidorm, Massimo Dutti, Boston or Perfumerías Avenida, with the best deals on cosmetic brands and perfumes. You’ll also find Lottery Administration number 4 of Benidorm.
– Martinez Alejos: this is the avenue that leads to Levante Beach from the famous Cafetería la Creu. On the way to the beach, we’ll find interesting 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. With the first lottery administration, the first tobacco shop, and the oldest pharmacy. It connects the city center with the port and the beginning of Poniente Beach. Clothing stores, galleries that connect with Plaza Mayor, and a great diversity of shops such as fur shops, opticians, jewelers, souvenir shops, or leather goods stores. Almost reaching the port, we’ll find Cool Meeting, a multi-story store with fashion and brand offers.
– Tomas Ortuño. Recently pedestrianized, the street has a good number of boutiques and shops that we can visit after passing by the municipal market or the Calvari museum, with exhibitions about Benidorm.
– Alameda. From Cafetería La Creu, we’ll pass the famous palm tree and start our way to Benidorm Castle. This street gives access to the slope towards the square of Santa Ana and San Jaime Church. Ibiza-style clothing stores, footwear deals, boutiques, and terraces where you can have a Gin Tonic or a frozen yogurt.
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.
