Two of the most popular places to shop whilst on Gran Canaria holidays are Vecindario and Las Palmas. Vecindario is a large town to the east of the island and about forty minutes from the main tourist areas. The three kilometre long main street is packed with shops selling everything from clothing to electrical goods. As the town is outside of the tourist area, the prices have not been raised so it is a great place to pick up some holiday bargains. There is a large shopping centre called C.C .Atlantico which stocks many well known labels and is home to many big name European stores.

Las Palmas is a stunning city, decorated with majestic palm trees that provide an exotic feel to this shopping haven. You can reach the city from any holiday resort by bus which takes you to the centre of the shopping district. The most popular shopping area in Las Palmas is Triana, a long boulevard with a distinctive cosmopolitan atmosphere. No Gran Canaria holidays would be the same without strolling this fantastic shopper’s heaven. Label lovers will find many exclusive boutiques and stores, selling many of the well known high quality labels. There are also several chic cafes and restaurants along the walkway, perfect for a mid shopping break!

Next time you book your Gran Canaria holidays remember to take advantage of this European shopping hotspot and bring home more than just a great tan!
