This Carrefour Express was my Carrefour Express while I lived in Salamanca. It's a neighborhood market with the bare necessities and hardly anything else located just north of the municipal library. I frequently stopped in for a few quick items when I needed to cook at home, which was just around the corner. They have most of the staples--meats, vegetables, fruits, bread, some cleaners, toilet paper, paper towels, water, beer, wine. (Wine is behind the counter.) But there aren't any speciality items (such as gluten-free) or an extensive selection of whatever you're looking for (thus the "Express" designation). They do, however, have a selection of seasonal foods such as turón and polvorones. Usually there is a homeless guy sitting in front of the store, which is unusual in this area. The staff--except for one person--are all fairly nice. The older lady who works at night is frequently grumpy and was sour that I didn't know to weigh my polvorones before I got to the front, which was even more nerve wracking with my limited Spanish. Shout out to the African guy, though, who was the only one who was *always* friendly and welcoming. If you want lots of variety and a better choice of meats, cheeses, and natural/"bio" foods, it's better to walk the extra way to the Carrefour on Calle Toro. It's multi-level, has a sushi counter, an extensive selection of meats and cheeses, and has lots of natural food choices. This Express is good in a pinch, but it wouldn't be my first choice for everything else. read more
