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).
