Shopping Tenerife is a paradise for shopaholics as there is no customs barrier. Shopping is an absolute delight and not even the tax-free shops of the international airports can compete with the prices.
Alcohol and tobacco are embarrassingly cheap and plentiful, all at less than duty-free prices, and with an amazing range. Cameras and watches are cheaper than in their country of origin and the most rare and capricious objects can be found side by side with hand-stitched tableware, all lovingly made by the Canarians. |
