There is a great variety of shops and super markets in the area and the prices can be equally variable. LIDL, a super market has usually the lowest prices and is basically targeted to be that way. With the interior low cost, low selection of brands and service, this is a rather stripped shop but the prices are kept very low at the same time. Other super markets are ALDI, Mercadona, Consum, MasyMas, SuperCor and finally Carrefour wich has two excellent shops in the Torrevieja area with great selection of brands. You can basically find anything you want there but the prices are rather high.
Most of these shops are located by the highway N-332, or the "country road" as it is often called. From Cabo Roig the nearest ones are Consum and Mercadona and then the others follow all the way into Torrevieja.
Habaneras is a very nice shopping center/mall in Torrevieja. With all the best known boutiques including, H&M, Zara, Jack & Jones, Berskha and C&A, bars and restaurants by the side, bowling alley, cinema and a video games store, it is a great idea to spend a day there doing your shopping and unwinding afterwards.
About 10 km south of Cabo Roig you will find another mall, Dos Mares. With very similar variety of shops and recreation this is also a nice place to do your shopping. It also has the super market Eroski which has a great selection of brands at reasonably low prices.
Nuevo Condomina is a super market just outside the city Murcia. A 45 minute drive away from Cabo Roig it is well worth the trip as it is much larger than Dos Mares and Habaneras with a greater variety of shops and restaurants. Near by is also an IKEA shop.
Espacio Mediterraneo is located in Cartagena, about 30 minute drive from Cabo Roig. Another large shopping mall.
The city of Alicante also has many shops, boutiques, shopping malls and restaurants. To name but a few, El Corte Ingles, Gran Via and Pizamar 2. Nike Factory Store is just north of the city and it offers you a good selection of Nike clothes at extremely good prices.
