Palma Shopping - Palma de Mallorca
The Canaries are a low tax area which means
that alcohol and tobacco in particular cost significantly
less here than in the rest of the EU. Also relatively inexpensive
are spectacles, jewellery clothes and leather goods..
If you are looking for souvenirs, La Palma has a lot to offer.
Wine, cheese, mojo, honey desserts, jams, rum make ideal gifts
for those who appreciate the good things in life, bird of
paradise flowers and proteas give an exotic touch back home,
and local handicrafts will be a constant reminder of your
holiday long afterwards, all are available from souvenir shops
and crafts centres.
Handicrafts, culinary specialities and farm products are
on sale at the farmers markets in Mazo, Puntagorda and Barlovento
and just about everything at the flea markets in Santa Cruz
de la palma and los llanos de ariadne.
Fresh seasonal vegetables and fruit as well as meat and fish,
are on sale in the covered markets in Santa Cruz de la Palma
and los llanos de ariadne. As the former is presently being
renovated, the market is temporarily housed in a hall in Avenida
de Las Nieves. Opening times are Monday to Saturday from 17.00
to 14.00 . The covered market in Los Llanos de Ariadne is
situated in Avenida Enrique Mederos and opens Monday to Saturday
from 8 to 14.
Finally, a word about opening times, since people on La Palma
still keep to the siesta. Only in the main towns and touristic
resorts do supermarkets and souvenirs shops stay open to some
extent at midday in the evening and on Sundays and public
holidays. Otherwise businesses are usually only open on week
days from 9 to 13 and from 17 to 19.
