Tenerife like other Canary Islands, is partly tax free area so the prices for tobacco, spirits and perfumes are cheaper there than on the average in EU countries. Tourists returning from the Canary Islands are treated at the customs like those 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. They usually have a morning and afternoon timetable.
Cheap electronics goods are on offer with mobile phones surprisingly cheap. The prices of the Finnish Nokia GSM phones start from Ptas 10.000. CD-players, car stereos and cameras are worth a closer inspection. The variety of watches is endless with even the handsome Camel watches being real bargains.
It is safer to buy the perfumes at the home airport when leaving for Tenerife or in the plane. Perfumes at attractive prices are of course sold in Puerto too but one can't always be totally sure of their origin.
There are several "tax free" shops at the Reina Sofia airport but the prices there are much higher than in Puerto de la Cruz or Santa Cruz. A beer in the airport bar costs twice as much as in a bar in Puerto.
