Tenerife Shops

Tenerife, as well as the other Canary Islands, is partly tax free area.

Prices for tobacco, spirits and perfumes are cheaper there than on the average in EU countries.

Travelers returning from the Canary Islands are treated at the customs like travelers from outside the European Union.

In Santa Cruz de Tenerife, most of these shops are located in the streets: Villalba Hervás, El Castillo, Doctor Allart, Bethencourt Alfonso and San José as well as in the surrounding of Plaza de España and Plaza de la Candelaria.

Most shops in the North have a morning and afternoon timetable, closing from 1pm to 4pm then opening till late at night.
