Supermercado 2000 Spar La Paz is known by gourmet cooks in Tenerife.

Above its entrance door you read Spar.

However the old name will always stick to people's mind.
Why? Because, every bus driver taking its passengers past it knows this place by the old name of the store.

The taxi rank in front of it is the taxi rank Supermercado 2000.

This supermarket has almost become a landmark in Puerto de la Cruz.

In fact, La Paz Puerto Cruz is a synonym of this Spar shop as well as of the Botanic Gardens Jardín Botánico.

The third symbol for this elite township is the prestige Hotel El Botánico which you find about 500 meters up the main road from Supermercado 2000 Spar. Its cooks will never have a problem to find the most extravagant ingredients at this shop.

TV news of October 26 2008 about changes Puerto Cruz which will effect certain shops:

There's another smaller Spar shop for groceries in Puerto Cruz belonging to the same chain as Supermercado 2000. Its on Avenida Generalisimo a street whose name will soon be changed as was announced in TV. It was also published by the same Teide TV channel that this street will be turned into a high class prestige Avenue with uniform looks which will cost more than 1,5 million Euros if I recollect well while it could possibly amount to more than that. Its Spar shop may, therefor, be expected to be beautified and enlarged to resemble more Supermercado SM Spar in la Paz.

Expensive Tenerife shop or not?

Some say that Supermercado 2000 Spar has pharmacy prices but, foreigners in La Paz with a holiday home in Tenerife fill up their baskets in there to the brim, nevertheless.

Shopping in Tenerife in this beautiful Spar shop in La Paz, of course, is a treat.

When I asked an elderly German gentleman in the shop if he didn't find some things a little expensive he answered: "So what, this is where we meet everybody who lives here and more!"

La Paz Puerto de la Cruz is one of the most prestige tourist spots for Germans and Scandinavians, in particular, on Tenerife Island, indeed, and, its Spar is simply a symbol for it.

However, I also saw a tourist bus filled to capacity with Spanish tourists and was told they were taken to a fiesta on this day end of October 2008 and this made me wonder if they also shopped at Supermercado 2000 Spar.

What is best about this La Paz SPAR shop?

An expiry date on any Tenerife Spar product is to be taken as serious as the USA constitution.

In fact, expiry dates apply to just about every perishable product sold at Spar, even in tins.

This makes shopping in Tenerife at Spar fantastic.

You can spot the most amazing product which you would never buy, otherwise, very cheap.

Real whole wheat oats:

I used to buy tinned herrings in very real tasting cream sauce which I couldn't make for its price nor goodness.
Don't ask how much... Does it matter when a special foot item is worth its price?.

I also buy cheap food at SM 2000 like dried split peas and large size lentils for making soup at rare occasions.

Special German wines and liquors

If you want special German liquors and wines you sure will find many of them at this Spar supermarket in La Paz.

If you need Kirsch Schnapps to make a genuine Black Forest cake you get it there.
However, exceptions exist. There is one item, even, SM 2000 doesn't have. Poppy seed for making poppy cake is not to be bought at SM 2000 Spar.

The shop Supermercado 2000 Spar was opened in the northern modern suburb La Paz of Puerto de la Cruz because, many wealthy foreigners started to buy their own holiday home towards the end of the 20th century in this cooler and often more quiet suburb of the oldest resort of Tenerife after Taoro Park became too full up.
