There are a number of supermarkets to choose from, the Polaris one on site. Offsite the closest is the Mercadona in Torre Pacheco which is open until 9pm and you can find most things here. There are several along the main road through Alcazares to San Javier and actually in San Javier there is the Dos Mares shopping centre.
