Our story

From a traditional basket shop to the village corner shop

For many years this spot on Calle Simón López was a basket-weaving shop (cestería). Five years ago, Alicia gave it a new life as the tobacconist and kiosk everyone in Candelario knows today.

We are still a small, friendly village shop: we greet you by name, ask how you are and serve with a smile. And we keep everything you need within arm’s reach.

If you are visiting, pop in. We will point you to something tasty, tell you where to walk next and, if you like, send you off with a little piece of Candelario.
