RECOMMENDATIONS

For local produce and household goods, there are many local grocers called Mini
Supers located in Bucerias, La Cruz, Sayulita, and Punta de Mita.
Fresh fish and seafood can be found early mornings at the Fish Market in La Cruz.
Also, in every town you will find small, family run Pharmacies (Farmácias).

For larger stores, there is also a chain called Guadalajara Farmácias, located along the highway.

OXXO Convenience Stores – found along the highway and main roads. Many
have ATM’s where you can withdraw pesos with your foreign debit card. Be sure to shop around as they don’t seem to be consistent in the fees!
