We will be going to Tenerife again for Xmas and New Year. Although we've been before, we've never been self-catering. We will be staying at the Club Atlantis Apartments and would like to each breakfast and lunch in, most days. Is there a supermarket which is not aimed at holiday makers within a reasonable taxi ride away from our apartments. Last Xmas whilst in Gran Canaria we went to a supermarket and got most of what we needed for our fortnight other than every day fresh stuff like bread from one reasonably priced Hypermarket.

Is Club Atlantis near Puerto Colon?
Club atlantis is next to Puerto Colon and approx 100m from the San Eugenio shopping centre with the Mercadona supermarket below the shops. Really good location
Also got a little bar called Scotch Corner opposite thats very reasonable and does great full english "or scottish" breakfasts
the san eugenio shopping centre is very good. Lawson What about an Irish breakfast. Hope you are well.
Thanks for that, but is it a tourist shopping centre being so close?
items like water are best bought at the nearest shop rather than try to save a few coppers and carry them for miles
after all you are on holiday
Thanks for that, but is it a tourist shopping centre being so close?
Mainly tourist shops above the supermarket, as you would expect for this area
However Mercadona are more like a small tesco, they have a chain of supermarkets and are used by locals. No inflated prices and a good sized supermarket. Its one of the first places we head to stock up each time we go.
The supermarket itself was one of those with huge slabs of meat hanging up, as the spanish are fond of doing. It had a big range and also if you were a customer you got some sort of parking permit or concession when you paid at the till so if you are into car hire thats a plus too. Hope this helps.
the irish breakfast is to hard to swallow . san eugenio is very good and you will find everything you need there ,tell the owner of the scots pub on the corner ,his name is billy ,and he is from paisley that peter from rothesay was asking for him. bluepeterno1
If you like fish it has a fantastic range of prawns. We visit here a few times, buy a big bag of prawns and sit on the balcony and eat them.
Thanks guys, I think the Mercadona sounds like the place we'll head to. I like to get all the boring stuff done in one sweep so it doesn't feel like being at home having to go for grocery type stuff daily.
Thanks in advance
Taxis are plentifull in the tourist areas so you should have no problem.
Just as an aside, although it's tenuously linked, you can now get Liria wine in Asda for £3.78 a bottle - that's nearly 4 times what it costs in Tenerife!!!!
the San Eugenio shopping centre has a supermarket and its very cheap . after seeing the prices in there we wont be going AI again
