If you are a compulsive buyer and enjoy shopping Las Palmas will give you the good shopping alternatives.

Rebajas ( Sale) is in January, February and August months. You can find many designer bargains in the Triana area and in those 7 big malls called; Las Arenas ( close to Las Canteras), El Muelle( in the port), La Ballena, Centro Comercial Siete Palmas,Centro Comercial Vecindario, Las Terrazas (Jinamar), El Mirador (opened Dec 2011 it's the latest and the biggest one in Jinamar) ( close to the airport) and also there are 2 El Corte de Ingles one in Mesa y Lopez area other one at Siete Palmas(Spain's famous chain like Maisy's)

Have a good shopping!


What to buy: Canarian culture is very unique. You can take with you some products only can find it here or hard to find in your country.
I can suggest some gift ideas:

Ron miel (alcohol drink)
Bienmesabe (Almond and gofio sweet)
Mazapan (Almond sweet)
Queso Majorero (Cheese from Fuerteventura)
Queso Valsequillo (Cheese from Gran Canaria)
Queso de Guia ( Cheese from Gran Canaria)
Mojo sauce ( verde(green) for fish, rojo(red) for meat)
Cigarettes (they are very cheap)
You can buy theese products at Mercadona, Carrefour, Hiperdino, Hipercor...

Canarian Artesania;such as hand made table cloth, ceramic, painting
You can buy theese products around Vegueta and Triana aria.


What to pay: It is definetly cheeper then other parts of europa. Because Canarians pays less sale tax then main land Spain.
