Review of Primark Algeciras

Review of Primark Malaga

Im not particularly a fan of Primark...I have been in a couple in the UK and always end up walking out as its all too much for my little head. Too many clothes everywhere. Also its a shop where you need lots of time and when on holiday in the UK we dont have time to fit everything as it is let alone, spend 3 hours in Primark.

My friend has been dying to go to Primark and on a number of times we went to go but the weather was dreadful and neither of us likes driving further than Fuengirola if truth be told.

But we set off and I drove...left at 9.15am. Drove on the toll through San Pedro and then Manilva. Then the road just eventually joined the N340 again. Stayed on this passed exit for Gibraltar, La Linea, passed Los Barrios and then 10 minutes later (i think) passed Eroski on the right, bull ring on the left and took the next exit 106.

Drive up the hill off the exit, turn right to the round about and then over to the left (straight on) and you will see PRIMARK!!!

Its in a shopping Centre called centro Commercial Europe. There was Primark, C&A, Mercadona, Sports Shops, Jewellery Shops...a few shops. Still many units empty.

Primark was on 2 floors and sold mainly clothes, kids, mens, womans. They had tea towels, towels, beach towels, some cushions, but that was it for homeware.

Prices...cheap. 6 pairs of kids trainer socks - 2€. 4 teatowels 1.50€, Tshirts 3 & 4 €, sandals 1.50€ to 10€. Lots of jewellery Bags all around 3€ to 10€

Sadly we were in that 1 shop for 3 hours...I so nearly just put everything down and walked out with nothing...I really dont enjoy shopping that much.

But I persevered and left there with 2 bags completely full for 90€. A Mac, 3 pairs of sandals, 4 tshirts, 2 beach top thingys, 11 pairs of socks, belt, 20 teatowels - yes 20! necklaces, 4 different sets of bracelets and a Spain Football Top for my little girl.

I thought it was quite good for basic stuff...it didnt seem to have HIGH FASHION that I sometimes see on the TV.

Ive got a tshirt on today - which I love and the sandals - well I wore last night, very comfy but did feel it getting bigger and bigger where the elastic is going already.

But I think worth a trip.

Took 1 Hour from Nueva Andalucia to Primark Algeciras

I am laughing so much imagining you putting twenty tea towels in your basket. They must have thought that you ran a restaurant when you paid at the counter. You are right the spanish branches don´t have the high fashion that you get in England.

Right now we want the SALES info!!!Come on what you got for us???
