Carrefour Tenerife with insider experience and some facts.Carrefour Tenerife main stores are only in 2 places in Tenerife. I have been to both. There is no Carrefour by Alcampo at La Laguna contrary to what one hears in the Internet. When talking to Carrefour I was assured that they only have 2 shops in Tenerife. What wasn't said is if there are any Carrefour convenience stores for fresh food. I will come back to this interesting topic below...
Carrefour Santa Cruz Avenida Tres de Mayo Tel: + 34 922 685392 (Santa Cruz Spain Carrefour Tenerife (big store) I saw Carrefour Tenerife at Christmas, once, when its Carrefour Tenerife Spain in Añaza which has ample parking can be seen on a special Carrefour map. Once, a friend and I took a bus
The 2 story 'Megastore' Carrefour in Añaza is very big.
Carrefour sells just about everything from motor oil to big furniture or televisions. The Santa Cruz Carrefour branch:Somebody said that Carrefour Tenerife is a lot like Asda. I have been to Asda in Bournemouth UK which was not like Carrefour, at all. A few years ago, a friend recommended Carrefour at the Tenerife capital when I needed a couch and told me that I would be surprised how cheap this store is. I ,first, went to its smaller branch directly in Santa Cruz just a few 100 meters uphill from the central bus station on the same palm lined avenue Avenida Tres de Mayo where the new sky scraper Corte Inglás is. How find Carrefour smaller branch by Corte Inglás?Looking at the Santa Cruz map which, please, enlarge and move to the left, you'll discover that Avda. Trás de Mayo is almost an extension of Autopista del Norte (freeway)TF5. Carrefour Avda.3 Mayo will be at about 800 meters from the seashore where Estación de Guaguas(bus station) is quite near the Auditorio de Tenerife.(10 minutes walk)
What about my sofa?Quality and price of the Careefour sofa were darn tempting but, I wanted a big sleeper couch. Anyway, there wasn't much of a choice for sofas a that time in that Carrefour branch and I didn't find what I wanted at Carrefour Añaza, either.By the way, after having combed through just about every furniture outlet from the capital right down to Icod de los Vinos (which is interesting in this respect also while comparing with Carrefour) not finding the right thing at Carrefour wasn't surprising. Where did I find the sofa Carrefour didn't have?
I bought a smashing corner unit couch 2m x1,60m which I needed for a holiday home in Tenerife I wanted to let at Trio Moebel (trio möbel) at El Sauzal for € 800 in 2004. This included delivery and assembling.Read all details about this versatile sleeper couch, all data of its shop and, why this peace of quality furniture was a best buy for me which stood the test of time...
Carrefour Tenerife in the capital is somehow similar to Alcampo at La Laguna or at La Orotava by the TF5 freeway. Only, it's bigger. Carrefour convenience stores:There was talk about Carrefour convenience stores for fresh produce in 2006. Please, mind that Carrefour has all sorts of outlets in other countries. I haven't seen one of those Carrefour express stores for fresh produce in Tenerife, yet. When asking at their main office a comment in this regard was not given which must be respected. Example of similar problem like Carrefour's experienced by other foreign stores in Tenerife:As far as I know there are big problems for that service because of a local law that protects small shops where fruit and vegetable shops are part of. The German chain Liedel which contrary to Carrefour sells food and drink only intended to come to Tenerife. Therefor, it needs to be seen what the outcome regarding express convenience stores will be with Carrefour. How can Carrefour fight the system if Mercadona supermarket couldn't when it started to build a store behind my building in Los Realejos?An interesting article on Carrefour business Spain where Tenerife is part of was published, some time back.
Please, go from Carrefour Tenerife to shopping in Tenerife to see how to shop in Canary Island style.
