What about supermarkets, buying fresh fish, vegetables, fruit, groceries and the price?
Almost anything can be found in Las Terrenas. You will find a wide variety of fresh organic fruit and vegetables, a daily market with fresh caught fish, lobsters and shrimps.
In the two big supermarkets, centrally located in town, you will discover things you can’t even find in your home country! Like special French & Spanish wines, French cheeses, cold cuts and delicious ’charcuterie’. Las Terrenas hosts also many bakeries where you can buy croissants, pastries, baguettes and bread. For those with allergies like gluten, soy or lactose, no worries, the supermarkets also carry a nice selection with many choices.
