Manuel Leon Store: This store has looked like it's on the verge of falling down for many years and is one of the original buildings in town from before the tourists arrived. But nowadays there are large modern supermarkets and in November 2018 they announced they were closing after almost a century in business. Photo by Doug Dosdall
Now gone but still remembered...

These places have gone out of business. Many are fondly remembered, others not so much. We've listed them here because there's often a lot of conflicting and out of date information online on other sites so here you can verify if a place is really gone.
Sometimes places close and then re-open so if you see someplace below that IS OPEN please write us at info@puertoviejosatellite.com with any details/photos you have please!
