The Shops at La Palmera is a shopping centre next to the La Palmera shopping centre. This outdoor centre is more compact than its bigger neighbour. Here you can choose from department stores, upscale boutiques, home interior stores, and several food options, including a bakery, a traditional diner, and a burger restaurant.
This is a popular shopping centre with locals due to the easy parking and convenient access to services, including nail bars and a spa. It’s a busy centre, but still quieter than the larger La Palmera mall. As this centre stays open later, both tourists and locals like to shop in the afternoon, then stay into the evening to eat in one of the many restaurants.
