Where to shop cheaply in Fuerteventura?

When we ask ourselves where it’s best to do our shopping in Fuerteventura, our attention immediately falls on Mercadona.

Mercadona is one of the largest and best-stocked food chains in Fuerteventura, similar to the supermarkets in large shopping centres in Italy.

Where are the Mercadona branches?

What are the opening hours?

From 9am to 9.30pm from Monday to Sunday, excluding public holidays (national holidays).

 

How to get to Mercadona stores?

There are two ways to get to all of these:

•  By car

By renting a car, a bike or campervan you are more independent and not tied to bus timetables.

 And if you have to do the shopping for a week’s holiday in Fuerteventura, with so many bags in hand it’s very tiring and inconvenient to go by bus.

• By bus

If you want to do a little shopping for a few days and you haven’t rented a car, no problem.

There are two buses, number 6 and number 8, which run to and from Mercadona, at all four of their locations.

If you prefer to spend the day exploring every corner of Fuerteventura, you can order your groceries online.

But this option would be for those who have decided to move to Fuerteventura , as to log in you are asked for the NIE (an identity document identical to the Italian tax code).
