Primark Algeciras

Rumour has it there is going to be a Primark opening in Algeciras in the "new shopping centre on the hill above the autovia". Does anyone know about this and if it is open yet?

Susan

 Susan,

Don't know about a Primark opening in your area. There is one near us south of Murcia. Great!

Yes there is also one in Jerez

Susan

Bumped for Nati!

Susan

Nati will be visiting one of the largest Primark's when she comes back to the north east on 8th July, she misses her Primark fix.

i have just seen this post. Oh please, I will pray tonite to have primark in Algeciras. Maria must know. If they open one in Algeciras I will spend my weekends there and I won´t get a tan!!!

Keep posting if you have news, pls

Ana

By the way, I am taking an empty suitcase to fill it up with Primarko clothes when I go to Newcastle, I cannot wait!!!!!

Whatever you buy, buy a size bigger for me too

Susan

I will Susan, but we have the same size. I am going to check Primark website and let you know about Algeciras

Ana

I have just checked the primark website and there is nothing about Algeciras. how did you find out about this?

If you know more about it please let us know

Ana

Primark are opening in Algeciras for sure. I cant find the links at the moment but they are part of a big new shopping complex called Puerto Europa.

From what I can gather it is on the hill behind ( inland) the Waterpark in Algeciras.

thank you Alcaidesa, nice name, you made my day. I am so happy. Please, when you can post the links. I will follow this up

Thank you

Ana

Ready Steady Shop, here come Nati and Susan!!!!!!!!

Here are a few links, nothing definitive but looks like they will be there in Purta Europa.

My dream come true. thank you alcaidesa. By the way if you live in Alcaidesa, Algeciras is just round the corner. Well done.

very excited now

Ana

Hi. Has anyone found out if Primark has opened yet in Algeciras.

We are due out soon and will have to go to Jerez otherwise.

Thanks.

Nothing here about it - nearest one, Jerez.

Yes, I checked that website and also sent an email direct to Primark ( no reply yet ).

I don't know why they are not advertising the fact here will be a store there, those links below surely confirm they will be opening.  I'll take a drive up there whilst I am over and see what progress has been made. Will report back.

 Nothing to do with Primark I am afraid, just a moan about Dunnes Store in Feungirola, called in on Tuesday and can't beleive what a load of rubbish clothes were on offer I swear they must have cleared the store and brought in a load of tat just for the sales. Can buy better on the market.

Hi Everyone

How big is the shopping area and what sort of shops are there at Algeciras where Primark will be and how long would it take us to get there from Puerto Duquesa please?

Jojan

Jojan,

It will take you about 40 mins to get to the Centro Commercial at Algerciras, but it looks like it needs a lot more work done before it opens, like roads in front and car parks!?!?!?

They have however already put shop signs up and there is one for Primark and one for Mercadona, but there must be a lot more shops going there as it looks massive!!!!

The Mrs wanted to go over to it after our visit to Bahia Park, as it is right opposite it, but it looked nowhere near ready to open.

We also saw a huge Eroski Supermarket on the way back from Algerciras before Los Barios, and don't forget the huge shopping complex at Los Barios itself, where you can also find a C&A shop.

Don't get your hopes up folks.

We have had a Primark in Murcia for some time now and it's is not half as good as the UK version.

Wife does like the bed cloths though a they fit the bed we brought with us from Bromsgrove.

Hi TechNoApe

Thanks for that reply how does Los Barios compare with La Canada and how long would that take from Duquesa?  This sounds like we could be making a good shopping trip in about 4 weeks time.

Jojan

Jojan,

Los Barrios is a 20 minute drive from Duquesa.  There's an outlet shopping centre there called Factory, which has Zara, Mango etc.  There's also a big Carrefour, a Leroy Merlin a Decathlon and a couple of others.

To be honest, the place is a dump but it does have some bargains. 

I would say La Canada has a better range of shops and personally I prefer it to Los Barrios.  It's a much better shopping experience.

David

David is right, the place is a dump and is only recommended if you are in pursuit of bargains and not a shopping "experience"  with coffees and lunch in mind, so to speak. There is litter everywhere in Los Barrios and it does have a kind of wasteland feel. I am not overly keen on La Cañada neither, I prefer Miramar in Fuengirola but it is quite a drive away. I am quite looking forward to this Algeciras shopping centre opening as the traffic in the other direction for La Cañada etc is off putting so I think the new place will be great for us in this area.

Susan

Mmmm sounds like we might wait for the new shopping centre to open.

Cheers everyone.

I did not manage to get to Algeciras whilst I was over, but my wife is still in Spain and she told me that she heard on the Radio that Primark opens 01st September ( next Tues).

Do not hold me to this information, just passing on what I have heard.

Just read it is 10th September, so we will just have to wait and see.................

Hi all

i'm told Primark use slave labour by paying about £4.00 a month!!  to some of their workers. I haven't looked in to it further to see if it's true?, but may be worth considering?

What is Primark please, and what/where is La Canada?

Hi All

According to the radio it opens tomorrow (1st sept 2009) However according to jimena newspaper it is due to open sept 10th . I live 2 mins away which is a quite a scary thing for my hubby!!!! will call in tomorrow and check to see whats happening and let you all know .
