BENIDORM SHOPPING CENTRE
The Benidorm shopping centre is planned for 2022 and is still under construction. Benidorm has a large number of small shops selling high quality products.
You can find most of them in the centre of Benidorm.
SHOPPING IN THE CENTRE OF BENIDORM
Let’s talk about one of the biggest attractions of the city, which is to stroll around while you do some shopping and enjoy a drink in one of the terraces. And most importantly, with a very interesting schedule, as they are usually open late into the night.
The main shopping streets in Benidorm are:
– Gambo. In this street you will find Zara Benidorm, Massimo Dutti, Boston or Perfumerías Avenida, with the best offers in cosmetics and perfume brands. You will also have the Lottery Administration number 4 in Benidorm.
– Martinez Alejos: is the avenue that leads to the Levante Beach from the famous Cafeteria la Creu. On the way to the beach you will find interesting shops such as Tiger, Cool, BASE: with its two floors of sports brands, Douglas perfumery, Di Marco Jewellery or the famous Pinocchio ice-cream parlour.
– Paseo de la Carretera. Probably the most famous street in Benidorm. With the first lottery administration, the first tobacconist or the oldest pharmacy. It connects the city centre with the port and the beginning of the Poniente beach. Clothes shops, galleries that connect with the Plaza Mayor and a great diversity of shops such as fur shops, opticians, jewellers, souvenir shops or leather goods shops. Almost arriving at the port we will find Cool Meeting, a store of several floors of 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 the cafeteria La Creu, we will pass the famous palm tree and start our way to Benidorm Castle. This street gives access to the slope towards the square of the Church of Santa Ana and San Jaime. Ibicencan clothes shops, footwear offers, boutiques and terraces where you can have a Gin Tonic or a frozen yoghurt.
In the first four you will find small shops with different items: shoes, clothes, fashion and accessories, home decoration, candles or bargains. All mixed with some frozen yogurt shops, amazing waffles, artisan ice cream, beer or pintxos.
