Shopping in Gran Canaria
With the Euro introduction, some noticeably lower priced item in Gran Canaria became costlier. As because the Canary Islands maintained their free trade zone status with subsidized VAT rates and import tax, in spite of, Spain’s EU membership, some goods are still available at a cheaper rate at duty free shops.
Famous souvenirs consist of local handiworks such as, banana leaves made basket, embroidery, felt hats, pottery and miniature Canary wooden balconies. For the finest quality at sensible price, one should look for the FEDAC outlets and Playa del Inglés and at the markets taking place once in a week in numerous cities in and around the island.
The Las Palmas city is undoubtedly Gran Canaria’s biggest business centre. The largest shopping malls of the city are La Ballena, Las Arenas, the customary Avenida Mesa y Lopéz and the Calle Mayor de Triana with a combination of stores, varying from international franchise outlets and old-fashioned tobacconists to tiny fabric stores. El Muelle, situated at the Muelle Santa Catalina, is the latest shopping center with a huge variety of cafés, restaurants, shops, discos and cinemas.
The shopping malls of Playa del Inglés are known for Kasbah and Yumbo, but the largest is Cita – are very busy throughout the week, but the importance here is on cost rather than excellence. These shopping malls are generally gigantic buildings, where one can get whatever he wants –electronic goods, clothes, perfumes, jewelry and lots of vigorous restaurants, clubs and bars.
