Tenerife shopping Puerto Cruz
for everything

Tenerife shopping Puerto Cruz often has a very special flair when done in restored Canary houses with atriums, marble fountains, and wooden indoor balconies.  Then, there's an abundance of tiny shops with great variety. They aren't only in its pedestrian hub on palm lined streets and on ocean promenades but also near the harbor and  by town squares. Wares from South America where cotton is seen as cool abound but there are also all the international chain shops.

However,  scroll down when you only need a locksmith because you lost the door keys. 

By the way, shop rules have been back to normal since the Corona rules don't apply to shopping any more.

Tenerife shopping Puerto Cruz from street vendors

A friend gave me a watch made in Japan in August 2008, which was bought at Plaza Charco from street vendors for negotiating fun for €20. After 5 months it stopped working. The battery was not to blame.

Such shopping brings surprises. The other day, friends of mine veterinary students from Germany
who did a course at Loro Park were delighted with colorful magnetic jewelry sold by street vendors. They thought they would make such nice gifts to take overseas. Magnetic wrist bands and necklaces are said to have healing qualities.  4 for €20, a give away if I recollect well... Of course, they bargained for those prices,  while I was with them at Plaza del Charco,  at night.

Desigual in Tenerife its latest surprise.

Sorry Desigual has closed its premises in Puerto de la Cruz in early 2023.

Turn right into tiny C/Sargento Caceres a side street that links the shore with Calle Hoya and find Visanta Electronics (tel:   + 34 922 38 41 89) for camera equipment by the street corner.
 
Shopping at Visanta was good in the past. Only brands with guaranties were sold.  My family bought a Nikon lens and  a Thomson TV remote control and other small camera accessories at Visanta.
 Staff was very helpful and multilingual. Visanta stocked mainly the most modern merchandise. That's the only Tenerife shopping Puerto Cruz Visanta review I may supply. You can look up more of their shops in their shopping homepage visanta.com at Tenerife online
  where Visanta Playa Las Americas, Torviscas and Santa Cruz are listed, as well.
 

This means online as well as other shops in Puerto de la Cruz. Pay special attention to parts, such as batteries.  This outlet is facing the town's small harbor or call it its little gravel beach.

Otherwise, much seems to depend on different sales people of NTM.

Shopping for electronics at small places

Don't buy bargains at little Puerto Cruz shops without asking for guaranties to help with later problems.
 Purchasing at small shops needn't be a negative experience. On occasion you find inferior brands on special. Just be careful...

Souvenirs and traditional craft works at the tourist information office

Depicted in the photo below is Casa de Aduana which houses the town tourist information office together with an interesting souvenir shop. Both almost face the electronics shop NTM by the picturesque fishing harbor. The souvenirs are locally made and are of exceptional good taste and quality.  Often, their productions are not repeated and they are sold as long as stocks last. 

There, also discover small modern art sculptures of the Guanche fertility goddess  Chaxiraxi or Tara which are great value for money. While stocks last... Indeed, Tenerife shopping Puerto Cruz is a delight in the premises of the town's tourist office.

Tiendas99 shops

Tenerife shopping Puerto Cruz for clothing, bedding and similar items is very popular with locals for good quality and reasonable prices at Tiendas 99. There is one up the road from Plaza del Charco in Calle de Nieves Ravelo after crossing Calle Dr.Ingram.
You can't miss its sign displayed outside while walking about 100 meters uphill.

Tenerife shopping Puerto Cruz for perishables

Mercadillo Puerto Cruz TenerifeMercadillo Puerto Cruz


The very interesting Puerto Cruz Rastro  closes by 2.p.m.

The attached municipal market is not always the cheapest in town for fruit and vegetables, while little shops may have better offers.


Where buy cheapest produce now?

In 2018, the shop Campo Verde is still one of such best bargain shops which beats the Mercadillo by more than 25 special offers. They are called ofertas, some of which are depicted in the photo. I had a beautiful sharp picture but one of the customers didn't take kindly to feature in it. The Campo Verde almost faces Hotel Diana Park by Hotel Magec in Calle Cupido at the end of the Titsa bus terminal of Puerto de la Cruz. There are a couple of others which beat the Mercadillo prices with some items that they sell. Those are by the beach Playa Jardin. Not to forget the Farmer shop El Agricultor, a five minutes drive outside El Puerto in Toscal Longuera which is often closed after 1 or 2p.m. Prices went up in general in June 2019. Never mind,  look how much I bought there for Euro 4,99 on July 19.

The June 2019 price of Espresso Coffee in Tenerife North

Relieve Cafe charges Euro 0,85 for it and 0,90 for a Cortado (which contains milk) which is very fair compared to Euro 0,90 for either or by other places. The prices for Milk Coffee Cafe con leche seem to fluctuate enormously, while Euro 1,50 has almost been the norm since June 2019.

 Tenerife art shopping.  Unfortunately, Recession caused most galleries in town to close down.

Cheapest Cigarettes in Puerto Cruz

 Best shops for them are at the San Telmo beach shop front and the Estanco  opposite the Cinema in C/ San Juan as well as other Estancos. Mind cigarettes are bound to go up in price all the time.

Hand rolled cigars are said to be available in some of the little Indian cigarette shops in Puerto de la Cruz. The Mall Piramides Martianez has one such shop.

Claude who gave advice on retirement used to buy cigars at the Paraiso  Bar in Longuera Toscal for €0,30/piece. They certainly cost double now.

Tenerife liquors

Original island liquors sold in Puerto Cruz besides its Tenerife wines are Ron de Miel a rum of 20% or more alcohol with honey and,  Banana Liquor. They are cheaper on the island than in mainland Spain and, very often Northern Europe because of hardly no luxury tax. Look out in liquor and souvenir shops for the latest in Wine. That's banana wine which sells for about €10 the bottle.

The long awaited first Tenerife German supermarket, which is extremely popular on mainland Spain for quality and low prices opened its first mega-shop in Puerto de la Cruz at Las Arenas opposite La Villa Al Campo of La Orotava by TF5 on 4th of February 2010.
Otherwise, the most open Lidl supermarket for Puerto de a Cruz is on its border in Los Realejos up the road from Hotel Maritim.

Mercadona my all time favorite

In fact, I do most of my Tenerife shopping Puerto Cruz at Mercadona because it's best for fresh fish and seafood. Everything is generally well priced with a huge choice of products. Certain things like water by 8 liter bottles or milk in bulk are cheaper at Alcampo to the best of my knowledge,  but then I don't like to buy at too many different shops and Mercadona is excellent with many house brands.
 

One of smaller convenience shops by Corte Ingles called Supercor Puerto Cruz has been moved from the former bus station to Plaza del Charco. But there are other supermarkets with long shopping hours.
