Trying out 24 hour shopping
Having read about the 24 hour supermarket machine, we just had to try it out for ourselves.
The menu was easy to operate, and our purchase was delivered quickly. But I had a feeling, that the 2000 items had been selected to give a wide variety of types of item, rather than trying to offer different brands of the same item.
This is obviously an attraction for those who have left something at home, a toothbrush, for example, and are happy to have any type as long as it’s available any time of the day or night.
Since there is a normal type of supermarket in Puerto del Carmen next to the machine, anyone wanting something more specific may need to go there during opening hours instead.

I always wondered how easy they were to operate, I've seen one in Orzola but not had the necessity to drive over there to use it out of hours as yet – thanks to the wonderful petrol station / supermarket at Arrieta.
