Buying groceries on Culebra

Author: Elaine Margarett (---.dca.untd.com) Date:   11-10-08 07:52 Hola! This will be our second trip to Culebra (Nov.12-19th) and we're renting a house this time. (YAY!) I know there are three grocery stores on Culebra. Any recommendations regarding fresh food/produce? I noticed on the mainland many meats and stuff are frozen. What can I expect to find in the Culebra grocery stores? The last time we were at Culebra, despite waiting over a half hour past the scheduled opening time, the grocery store remained closed and we ended up going to the little convience store near Susie's to get the small item what we needed. Gracias in adavance~ EM

It also has (has always had) a fresh meat counter in the back. There is a veggie market on Fridays, but someone on Culebra will need to confirm the location. They used to set up across from Happy Landing area, but that area was all torn up when I was there last month. Happy Diving! Debbie

Sometimes they run out of things. There are fresh meats and seafood. (Check out the rear of Milka's.) There are a lot of locals who live on the island, and they eat like normal people... thanks to the grocery stores!

Find him by looking for Casa Ensenada...he's sort of catty corner across the street all day Friday and he has a nice selection. Milka's actually had some beautiful green beans yesterday! Hidden in the meat dept....of course. Save What's Left!
