Shopping and Markets

No vacation is complete without shopping. People with a penchant for shopping sprees should keep in mind the boutiques and shops in Gran Canaria give tourists the opportunity to buy duty-free products, which turns the island into a huge duty-free center. The price of all products sold on the island is also exempt from VAT (4.5 to 5% for electronics).

People who choose Gran Canaria as vacation destination will find the island is replete with modern shopping centers, famed designers’ boutiques, as well as shops owned by locals from where tourists can purchase souvenirs for their dear ones. The most appreciated souvenirs in Gran Canaria refer to baskets made of banana tree leaves, straw hats, earthenware and ticking work.

As a rule, shops open around 10am and close around 8pm, but most of them have a 1 to 2-hour break at lunch. Most shops are, again, closed on Sundays.

In the north area

Much of the shopping opportunities in the north area are clustered in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Thus, Calle Triana, a street located in the very heart of the city, is the main thoroughfare in terms of shopping thrills in Las Palmas. Crossing the old neighborhood of Triana, the street has grown along with the city and at present, tourists can find here all sorts of products, ranging from clothing, sportswear to souvenirs. In addition, Calle Triana is a hub of pastimes for the young, leisure yielded by the cinemas and bars clustered around this street. Tourists should also look up the opportunities stretching along Mesa y Lopez, which is a genuine backbone of major Spanish brand name shops.

Telde too occasions excellent shopping sprees, but for a comprehensive understanding of this activity in north Gran Canaria, tourists should have a wider approach.

The markets in the north area, as well as the markets located in the center of the island, focus chiefly on traditional products. Such products range from foodstuffs (cheeses and confectionery) to craftsmanship items. Clothing and similar mainstream items can also be spotted at such markets.

In the south area

Maspalomas, Playa del Ingles, San Augustin, Meloneras and Puerto Rico concentrate the highest density of shopping opportunities in south Gran Canaria. The products sold by the shops clustered in and around these centers are fairly miscellaneous, ranging from perfumes and cosmetics to electronics, sportswear and foodstuffs. The markets held in this part of the island focus on souvenir and gift trade, which is always nice to envisage by people who want to carry a piece of Gran Canaria with them after leaving the island.
