Shopping:
Most shops in Alicante open at 09:30-10:00,
closing between 13:30-14:00 for lunch and reopening from 17:00 to 20:00 on
weekdays. On Saturdays they generally only open for half a day and on Sundays
remain closed. However, several larger stores stay open all day, including
Saturdays.
The heart of the shopping district is in and around Avenida de Maisonnave. Here you will find a vast array of shoe shops, boutiques, specialist shops and department stores such as El Corte Inglés. Other more traditional centres are the Avenida Alfonso el Sabio, as well as La Rambla, Calle del Teatro and Calle Gerona. You can find a good selection of turrón, the local delicacy, at Teclo, Calle Mayor 23. The Esplanade is the ideal place to purchase arts and crafts, leatherwork and costume jewellery from the street stalls.
