Canary Islands Shopping
The 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 the Canary Islands into the UK and other EU countries!
The Limits are: 1 litre of spirits, 2 litres of wine and 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars.
Below on the different links you will find more detailed information regarding shopping on the individual islands and their resorts and towns.
Tenerife along with the other Canary Islands is duty free, so you are looking to buy some tobacco, wines, spirits and perfumes, look no further they are much cheaper here than in other EU countries! If whilst on holiday you are wanting to do some serious shopping, then across the island several shopping centre's have sprung up! There's; Corte Ingles department store in Santa Cruz, Carrefour off the TF-1 motorway and Continente next to the TF-5 motorway.
- Playa de las Americas Shopping
If you are looking at doing some serious shopping then Puerto del Rosario and Corralejo are the best places to go, but still are limited with the amount of shops. With a few clothes, shoes and accessories shops with various fashions - in Corralejo you will find mostly surfing shops! Puerto del Rosario is a little bigger and completely varied, like a lot of Spanish Cities. If you are looking for brand names though and some real shopping then why not take a ferry over to Lanzarote for the day? A brilliant day out, loads of shops and you get a taste of another island!
