Minimarket El Gringo
About
Minimarket El Gringo is a supermarket or grocery store in Galápagos. Trading from 7M4Q+48H, Islas plazas y Charles darwin, Puerto Ayora, Ecuador, the shop sits on Santa Cruz, the island where Puerto Ayora serves as the main settlement.
As a supermarket, Minimarket El Gringo supplies the pantry goods, drinks and household items that a stay on Santa Cruz requires, and its position in Puerto Ayora puts it within reach of the town's accommodation. A 3.7 out of 5 score comes from 6 reviews, and Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Puerto Villamil and Floreana lie on other islands of the group. Five photographs accompany the listing.
Self-catering visitors based in Puerto Ayora can stock a kitchen here before heading out to Tortuga Bay or onwards to San Cristobal, Santa Cruz and Isabela. Spanish is the official language, with English used in tourism and guiding, so shopping is straightforward for most travellers. Almost all of the Galápagos is national park, and settlement is limited to four inhabited islands, which keeps services concentrated in the towns.
Marine iguanas, the only sea-going lizards, are found only in the Galápagos Islands, and a cool mist called the garúa covers the highlands of larger islands during the dry season. Those conditions shape day trips between the populated islands, so provisions bought in Puerto Ayora often travel with visitors.
