Gran Canaria Tips: Food Shop Like A Local & Save A Fortune

Small supermarkets in Gran Canaria's resorts are great for buying water and cold beer, but they are expensive if you use them to buy food.

Instead, get a bus or taxi to the nearest local supermarket and you'll save a fortune. If you are in Gran Canaria self-catered or half-board and plan to make your own meals, it's definitely worth the extra effort.  

For example, you can buy half a kilo of sliced cheese in a big local supermarket for €3.50 while in small resort supermarkets you get about four slices for the same money. 

Ask at reception for your nearest Spar, Hiperdino or Mercadona. If you are staying in Playa del Inglés or Maspalomas, there's a Spar and an Hiperdino in San Fernando. In Puerto Rico, the nearest big local supermarkets are in Arguineguín while Puerto de Mogán has its own Spar close to the beach.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
