San Agustin Shopping
San Agustin in the South of Gran Canaria you will find along with the other coastal tourist resorts in the area the usual electrical goods and popular souvenir shops, as well clothes and imported food and drink. Here you will also find a lot of local craft shops sell the local pottery and hand made banana leaves baskets, embroidery and pottery.
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.
Whislt staying in San Agustin, if you are looking to do some serious shopping on your holidays then you will have to leave the resort and go to the Capital of the island, Las Palmas which is without a doubt Gran Canaria’s largest commercial centre.
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 in San Agustin and other tourist areas in the South are normally aimed at the tourism market selling, souvenirs and gifts, but around the island you will also find markets that provide for the local inhabitants, with the local farmers and produce makers selling their trade, such as local cheese's and confectionery! The markets are always a great day out to have a wander around and look even if you aren't planning on buying anything!
