Carrefour: Hypermarkets

The worlds second largest retail chain stores - Carrefour has an important presence in Valencia with aprox 10 stores you will find all that you can normally find back home at a supermarket. You might probably find them to be bigger in size over here and at pretty reasonable prices. Shopping in one of these strores is pretty comfortable as they are open from 9 in the morning till 10 at night. You have one just in front of the city of sciences.

What to buy: Any basics from eating to clothing

El Corte Ingles - Department Stores: A lot under one roof

Probably one of the most popular names of Spain - El Corte Ingles are huge departmental stores you probably have already heard of. You find them in all big cities and are now starting to get into many smaller cities as well. In Valencia we have about 5 of them so you will not find it difficult to find th nearest to where you are. I would recommend you to visit the store that they have at the area of the city of sciences, one of their latest and the biggest they have right now in Spain ( Feb 2007 ) with 8 floors of all kinds of merchandise and 6 floors of parking. thats really huge ( Pintor Maella, 37, Centro comercial Avenida de Francia ) The structure of the building is quite attractive and the shopping space is quite comfortable. You can eat at their restaurants and shop till you fall or till your credit card says no more - so its upto you.

What to buy: Name it - they have it
