I understand that the supermarkets are closed on Sundays at the moment, we arrive on a Sunday and would need to buy a few bits to tide us over until Monday, does anyone know of any food shops that would be open on a Sunday?
Thanks
Anne

What is the actual date that you arrive and I can check if they will be closed, also if they are you might be able to get some limited supplies at a shop in a Petrol Station on the way from the Airport.

Not sure about my suggestion of the shop at petrol station but another alternative would be if you have any friends already here in your Urbanisation that could get supplies in for you.

Legendary helpful member
As John has said, a petrol station is the best bet if there isn't a small shop open. Some of the Cepsa petrol stations have a Carrefour Extra section, where you could get supplies for a meal and drinks. Otherwise go for a Chinese or Indian.
Hi Annie,
If you dont mind a short detour to La Fuenta commercial centre. There you will find a small English run mini market open on a Sunday. Been there myself when all of La Zenia Boulivard was closed on a recent Sunday.
Hope that helps.

Also, the garage in El Altet by FWREUROCARS has a very good selection of
Food etc. Only 10 minutes from Alicante Airport.
