Hi Helenba
Live quite near you, so have been to most of the shopping centres. It depends what you are looking for. If it is clothes, then Almeria Mediterranean Centre is fine, park your car there look around the shops in then centre and then get a taxi into the town centre, for Mango, Zara etc. Approximately 40 minutes drive.
Roquetas similar shops, but also as DIY and electrical, (approx 50 minutes drive)
Alternatively, Murcia new Shopping Centre, for IKea, Primark etc. (takes around 1 hour 30 minutes)
Happy Shopping!!

Hi Helenb
Never heard of your village, we live in Turre and have been coming to this area for the past 14 years, so know most of the area quite well (especially the shops!!!).
You are lucky to live in a village, must mean you speak Spanish quite well unlike here where most of the time everything is in English.
I love the clothes shops here, especially Cortefiel and Trucco (both based in Almeria). Also a couple of decent clothes shops have opened in Garrucha in recent years, which is great as you can combine a trip to the coast with a bit of retail therapy.
