Default Shops you couldn't live without

Whenever I move, I always seek out a decent bakery. I'm afraid i've become accustomed to eating decent bread, and can't survive on the cheap white sliced stuff.

What shops, if any, are essential to your well-being?

Agree with you about decent bread. I could live without meat but could not manage without a good choice of vegetables.

Not too bothered about shops but I could not contemplate living anywhere which was not in walking distance of a decent bar - preferably several.

Reading this forum, I think it's the cheapo Chinese shops most would seem to miss. Personally the only "shop" I'd miss would be the internet!

Agree - every shop is open to you if you have the internet - it is just a shame access to the internet is so expensive in Spain!
