About rural shoppers
RuralShoppers is an online shopping service using local businesses for holidays in rural houses.
Eveything you may need during your break: food, drink, personal hygiene products, cleaning products, and tipical local products. The only things we do NOT buy are frozen food and fish.
We deliver over the whole of Málaga province, so you can check if you will be in our area.

The cost of the service is between 25€ and 70€, depending on the delivery zone.
The service comprises: a RuralShopper who selects the best local products, and coordinates all your shopping, taking it to your rural house and storing it ready for your arrival.
The cost of the service is additional to the cost of the shopping itself, and we would recommend the following ways to keep costs down
- Use your order not only for local products while you are on your break, but also to have some left over to take home with you
- Large groups: these will require more shopping – we make it easy for you to organise the shopping
- On a long break? Try and order as much as you will need for the whole time of your stay.
In advance, and when all has been confirmed. We will send you a safe link for payment. Payment confirms the order and also acceptance of service conditions.
RuralShoppers will do their best to comply with your needs and preferences. However, as we shop in local areas, we do give priority to local produce, and it could happen that we cannot find the particular brands requested. Thank you for being flexible and believing in local goods.
Rural Shoppers will contact the businesses to be used with 48 hours notice, but it could be that one or more of the items requested in your order are not stocked. We will substitute similar products where possible.
If we cannot find a reasonable substitute in the chosen shop, the full price of the item will be returned to the client.
If there is a specific product on the list which the client considers cannot be substituted, this should be noted on the order. In this case, if we cannot find the product in the shop, we will not provide a substitute.
