Lidl — Local services in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

I used to hate it primarily because of their signature layout, with clothes and hardware tools smack in the middle of the aisles. It's quite disconcerting to see underwear beside frozen turkey, for example. But, one gets desensitised I suppose. They have some good stuff at good prices such as unsalted nuts, soy milk with no salt added, fresh-looking vegetables, duck, which isn't seen in many places, and even goose! Updated: 16 Feb 2022: Their bio section keeps on improving and they have tricolour quinoa; however, they stock very little quinoa and are often not on the shelf. 11 May 2022: Several months ago, they closed for several days for "renovation" purposes.

If the staff weren't always so rude I would definitely shop...

Chocolate, salsas and spices good price here. Parking is free and underground under the store. They even happened to sell Duff Beer like Homer drinks from the Simpsons cartoon although we didnt buy this item. Nice and clean. Prezels they sell are a nice snack to eat on the way home. Cheapest Heinz Baked Beans price at €0.77 / can we have found on the island so far. The Lidl's in Gran Canaria always seem to have amazing veiws out the windows past the checkout counters. The window views are great to watch the world go by while...
