Andalucia’s Largest Organic supermarket Opens in Benahavis

The largest organic and gourmet supermarket in Andalucia has opened on the outskirts of Marbella.

Family-run Chipolino Natural in Benahavis, on the Ronda road, between the Pharmacy and Opencor in Monte Halcones Shopping Centre, just two minutes’ drive north of the Autopista, is stocking everything from non biological washing powder to organic pet food.

Its 250 square metres are also packed with vegetables, herbs, milk, fresh meat and fish.

“We aim to get Marbella locals eating well and there is a definite drift, albeit slow, to healthy organic food,” explained owner Rafael Vicuña, 58. The Basque father-of-three launched the business after working for many years in the US and Mexico, as a constructor.

“I got interested in organic food when I discovered how much rubbish people ate in Mexico. It is the same here, yet in Andalucia, you can buy the best quality produce in the world, if you can just get hold of it,” he added. “Sadly too much of it gets sent abroad. We hope to change that.”

Vicuña, whose wife is Russian, hopes to champion small, local producers and soon set up a website to buy online. His sister Jovita – wife of Marbella estate agent Panorama Properties boss Christopher Clover – is also a parter in the venture.

Dear Rafael and Vicuña

My husband and I are Canadians and we are thinking of moving to Benahavis. We are happy to have found out about your organic store in the Benahavis area, where we plan to reside.(how far is it from Benahavis?). For ten plus years we live with organic produce which is a very important part of our lifestyle. We will be spending a month in Benahavis to get a feel of the area. I speak four languages including Russian. Are you aware of someone who would rent a nice one bedroom apartment (bright and non-smoking) in Benahavis or the surrounding area from Sept 30th to Oct 30th? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. I hope that we will become neighbours very soon. Congratulations on your store and your mission to bring organic produce to the area.

All my best,

Nata Belkin
