Agaete Shopping
Gran Canaria along with the other Canary Islands has managed to keep their status of lower import tax and VAT rates - duty free!! So if you are looking to buy tobacco, wines, spirits, perfumes and maybe some electrical goods, look no further as they are much cheaper here than in other EU countries! But please remember unlike other European Union Countries, there is a strict limit to the amount that you are allowed to export out of Gran Canaria into the UK and other EU countries!
The Limits are: 1 litre of spirits, 2 litres of wine and 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars.
Whilst staying in Agaete, if you are looking to do some serious shopping on your holidays then you will have to leave the resort and go close by to the Capital of the island, Las Palmas which is without a doubt Gran Canaria’s largest commercial centre.
In Agaete and Puerto de Las Nieves you will find the regular tourist shops, with souvenirs, some clothes, duty free and electrical goods!
If you, like me like the markets for a good haggle and great bargain there are plenty across the island of Gran Canaria...Make sure you try to barter as it makes that bargain even more satisfying!!! Markets that are found near Agaete are aimed more for the local inhabitants, with the local farmers and produce makers selling their trade, such as local cheese's and confectionery! You can also find like other tourist areas on the island markets that are normally aimed at the tourism market selling, souvenirs and gifts. The markets are always a great day out to have a wander around and look even if you aren't planning on buying anything!
