Güimar Shopping

The Canary Islands are, for the most part, partly tax-free, meaning there are no customs duties and value-added tax for most items bought. This means that prices on items are generally lower than in other countries in Europe. This fact makes Guimar a splendid place to shop at. With just a little work, great deals can be found everywhere.

Tenerife is known for its wonderful local crafts. For starters, beautiful embroidery, thread-, and lace-work are all hallmarks of the natives of Tenerife . These take long to make and are exceptionally beautiful. The islands also are known for traditional pottery and wickerwork. All these crafts can be purchased around Guimar and would make lovely souvenirs to take home.
