Shops in Tenerife are subject to change. But how?

Shops in Tenerife are somehow different from those in most of western countries. Many have managed to cling to past values, such as small sizes with individual service and good customer care, contrary to some self service outlets. Quite a few of them have survived in old tourist hubs so far until 2012, above all in prime locations.

The streets Calle Estebán de Ponte 11 and Avda. Tomeé Cano are good examples for Garachico shop changes. Only Artesantas El Limonero Garachico with its souvenirs, arts and crafts seems to be left, as it is also accessible from the beach promenade, as shown beside. Almost next door is the shop called Tabacos Arturo. It sells Tenerife cigars. Both retail outlets have a life size, folklore mannequin outside which draws in tourists. That's a charming touch of marketing, indeed.

A ceramics' shop called Ceramica with rainbow colored crafts replaced the art gallery Garachico Arte and Diseño. (art and design) The gallery used to be in no 5, of C/ Estebán, also. Now, it remains only in the Internet, to the best of my knowledge. At least, its owners were wise enough to give it more exposure by a proper homepage.

Closed down shops in Tenerife also remind me El Gusano of Santa Cruz which was one of the handsome ones in the capital. Now El Gusano seems to be on Facebook only. It may sell its antique dolls houses to its faithful old customers. But is that enough nowadays? Its language which is Spanish restricts it somehow to start with.

Talking of romance, don't miss one of the most beautiful Tenerife hotels, right there. It's the Quinta Roja Garachico which even has totally free Internet in its most gordeous, comfortable patio. By the way, no shops are on that peaceful town square, but only a cafe pavillon with edible kiosk goodies.

I still have to find out, where the shopping galleries from 2007 besides the crafts haven El Limonero Garachico have gone.
By the way in 2001 and 2007, drastic changes of our times were unimaginable for Tenerife shopping Garachico.
