A small bookshop that provide books published in English…read more A small selection, and can be pricey compared to the UK. Nevertheless, a very helpful crew, and happy to order books for you. Unfortunately their deliveries can be a bit his and miss. The promised arrival on the Wednesday hadn't arrived by Thursday.. More due to Spanish mañana, than the staff at Bookworld. This is based in the La Marina (EROSKI) complex, turn left once in the main entrance, and the shop is further down on the left-hand side.

The Portal de la Marina and me is a long love story ... When I visit my parents when they are on…read moreholidays in Spain, it's a bit of an addictive habit to go there! I must say that their village is not full of shops... so, for shopping, the Marina is kind of "the place to be"! It includes all major conventional chains : H&M, Zara, Massimo Dutti, Pull&Bear , Mango, Bershka, Stradivarius,... But unlike Belgium, each piece is 5-10€ cheaper (even more at Dutti). Big difference in the wallet! This year, I crushed for Oysho and its sport collections! The mall is really huge and there is also a supermarket, restaurants, snacks, perfumeries, hairdressers, fish pedicure stands, opticians (of course which such a sun there), movie theater, game zone, ... You can easily spend a whole day @ The Marina (if it rains even if it is rare or too hot during lunch time - thank you airco!). For shopping addicts, this is the place to be in Costa Blanca (Ondara - Valencia).
