El Limonero is full of exquisite gifts to take home from Tenerife holidays.
Find exception below...
El Limonero is a shop with two street entrances. One is by Garachico's picturesque beach front and the other is behind the long ancient building. You can't miss it when you pass along the coastal road or stroll through this tiny but, amazingly charming town on the West Coast of Tenerife Spain.
There is another place by the same name, by the way. It's a restaurant in La Laguna by Santa Cruz Tenerife. Go, check out the Garachico shop's treasures as well as Tenerife culture that is tops in this historical town... This Tenerife shop is one of the nicest for goods made on the biggest of all Canary Islands besides my favorite in Puerto de la Cruz which also sells a Guanche fertility goddess. El Limonero is the essence of shopping in Tenerife for everything regarding custom and Tenerife tradition. No, it is not an antique shop but, ideal for finding handy crafts which, sometimes, look antique.
Gifts like Tenerife embroidery and 'delikatessen' such as good Tenerife goat cheese and wine as well as liquors including an island brand made of bananas may be bought at the Lemon Tree shop which is what its Spanish name means.
This Tenerife shopping haven sells tasteful handicraft with a touch of art.
Unfortunately, most of all the other little shops in Tenerife in the Limonero's neighbourhood, many of which were Garachico art galleries have disappeared by year 2011.
There are still some places for art shopping in Tenerife but, Garachico used to be best fun, when it still had many which were all near each other.
One of the Lemon Tree shop's items that stuck out when I was there was a good example of Tenerife art work like the brass lamp shown in the photo. However, there were so many more things, much too numerous to remember all. This shop represents Tenerife culture and, good taste of an old town. I remember candles, ethnic jewelery, lamps, custom Romeria outfits with embroidered white cotton shirts and equally done up little vests in black with stitches in all colors. Lots of sea shells as well as woven articles were, there. Little direct light enters when you browse at this selected shop which gives it a romantic touch.
Many goods at El Limonero shop make superb Tenerife gifts or Tenerife souvenirs like the lampshades in the picture.
You may also shop there for ornaments and beautiful utilities for a holiday home in Tenerife.
Or, for any other home, of course...
Admittedly, this shop has a feminine flair.
Shop items not suitable for a man's or boy's room could do well for many a guest room.
Is El Limonero shop expensive? I would say that it's not as far as I remember, especially, when I compared prices to similar shops in North Western European towns.
Please, go from El Limonero to Tenerife shopping to find out more about pretty Garachico and why its so nice for a shopping holiday.
