Wondering what you think about shopping in Tenerife or on mainland Spain. I lived on the mainland for a while. However, I see myself as the shopping insider for Tenerife, rather.
Shopping in Tenerife is a hot topic for tourists on this Canary Island. Actually, I can spot by my visitor stats that this page is regarded as one of best buy insider resources for the Spanish province. One more reason to have Tenerife holidays than Spain vacations... Or to pick them as alternative, above all in winter, when Tenerife climate is so good...
Don't take me wrong! I love the culture on the Spanish mainland. Spain is great like Spain fashion, Spanish shoes and much more.
You can buy almost all that in Tenerife malls, stores, markets and shops with less sales tax, though.
Also, 'expats' and Tenerife business visitors are happy to discover my shop secrets. One can never have enough Tenerife shopping information. Best purchases are often hidden on the biggest of all Canary Islands in places, you don't think of. Besides, it's important to know all the shopping news, as Spanish traditions are really changing. The Spain economy which used to be too good to be true is to blame. The international crisis and recession are rubbing off positively on bargain buys in Tenerife as well. Those are not only Spanish villas.
Don't miss out on this wealth of shopping information for the fortunate island at www.tenerife-holiday-home-insider.com/shopping-in-tenerife.html. As a last shopping advice it must be said to be careful, not to utter the word Purros. Somebody might look at you sideways, when you use it in a special shop. More about this just now in my page on the Spanish language, where this shopping mistake needs to come up.
