Their are 3 main super markets on the island you have one on the outskirts of Mahon. As you arrive into Mahon by the industrial estate you go up into the estate on the ring road. The others are at the other end of the island at Ciutedella one in the industrial estate again and the other on the way down to Cal n Bosc

If you go hunting at Ciutella you can find the local meat and fish market, we stumbled on them by chance, if you are interested I can give you some rough directions :)

there are loads of supermarkets you can chose from. In the industrial estate in mahon there are quite a few big ones called SYP, dia, mini prix and hyper climente. All these are good , if you are looking for cheap the best one is dia, which is a bit like lidl or aldi in the uk.

You could also drive to alaior of mercadal from addaia, where you will find good sized spar supermarkets.

so dont worry there are plenty to chose from and they are easy to find.

On the subject of supermarkets. If you pay with a switch card do any offer a "cash back" facility or is this unheard of in Menorca? Sorry but I dont like hole in the wall.

Please can anyone tell me if we can buy shopping at Binibeca, we arrive next Friday at around 6pm. Will any shops be open for basic supplies?

Does this area have a larger supermarket near or onroute from the airport?

Thanks

I stayed at Binebeca beach club resort in 2000 & 2001. There was a small SPAR type supermarket, not very big though but stocked the basics. The nearest large supermarket is probably in Alaior or another one we visited was on the outskirts of Mahon, we tended to use these as more choice and cheaper. For the most delicious fresh cheese make sure you visit the COINGA factory in Alaior, it's got a taste of its own! Lurvly!! Hope this helps. 8)
