Thank you both for your help. I think I found what I was looking for at http://calleacalle.paginasamarillas.es/zonas_madrid.jsp It shows specified location and allows you to view any sort of alimentacion in the hood. Now I can take my map, walk around and see if those shops nearby are any good... |

hey Ola. yes, the calleacalle is part of paginas amarillas. you can get there from the page you were initially on ( http://callejero.paginasamarillas.es) by clicking on "callacalle" on the menu at top. be sure to have a good look around the areas since the calleacalle is ok but lacking since it does not list all of the supermarkets. for example, i did a search on the plaza de san miguel (in front of my apt.) and it did show the "dia" market but totally skipped "gama" which is a good one and about 4 stores down from "dia". the site is far from impartial as they only list those who pay to be in paginas amarillas. and it is not even trustworthy on that. i know there is a "dia" supermarket on calle magdalena but they do not list it on that site. so, odd they would list some of the "dia" markets and not others  saludos, jer...

Ola, could you be more specific about the supermarkets that "blow" in that area? which ones are there? maybe you are not used to the spanish haphazard way of displaying items at smaller, discount supermarkets. saludos, jer...

Ola, There is a Champion on the corner of Calle Toledo and Segovia-not sure if that is too far away for you-but they deliver (up my four flights of stairs, no less). 
azucar!

hey Ola (& gang). i highly recommend shopping at carrefour online --> http://www.alimentacion.carrefour.es . ena and i use it once a month or so for the heavy stuff that does not need to be bougth on a weekly (or daily basis). Wendy, you may want to consider it once you get an idea of brands and items since it is a bit cheaper than champion. then you can just go to the mercado de la cebada every week or so for fruits & veggies, meats and other fresh items (champion is INSANELY expensive when it comes to fruits & veggies ) but it is always packed with foreigners (they don't know the mercado de la cebada is around the corner. mariposita and christian can attest. back to carrefour online. just gfo and register with their website ( http://www.alimentacion.carrefour.es), shop online and they will deliver. also great for those of us like me and Wendy who live in 4th floor walkups. saludos, jer...

what's wild, him or the shrooms  i have shopped there too, some nice stuff but not cheap. quote: (jer--do you tip the delivery person?)
yes, always. mostly due to the... 1) impossibility of parking anywhere near our apt. 2) 99 steps up to our apt. 3) i used to deliver pizza back in u.s.a. and know it is nice to get a tip i always give him a 2 or 3 euros. saludos, jer...

Anyone knows where I could find that sort of info? I'm apartment hunting as we speak and would like to see if there are any supermarkets near the places I've been looking at... Thank you in advance.
- rent or buy a cell phone from me for your stay in spain, more info at 
- already have a cell phone, get a spanish SIM card for it at 
its not that the specific ones blow, just that there are hardly any of them around... The closest one is Gama. I'm sure i'll get used to it and will get things figured out soon - must be the rainy weather and annoying apartment searching thats getting to me these days.
