El Verol Gift Shop in Arguineguín sells a great range of original gifts and home decorations that is well worth browsing.

Often the best things about a place are hidden in plain sight. Las Canteras Lifestyle, the coolest beachwear and accessory shop in Las Palmas, is the perfect example. 

The El Tablero Shopping Centre is a funky building with enough fashion stores for a quick retail blitz.

Airport duty-free shops go all out to entice you to buy booze, cigarettes, perfume, and chocolate. But on a low-tax island like Gran Canaria, is it worth waiting until the departure lounge to buy? 

To shop for clothes in Gran Canaria on a Sunday, head up to Las Palmas (between October and April).

For serious Gran Canaria shopping, a trip to the capital Las Palmas is always a good day trip. As one of Spain's ten biggest cities it's got the island's biggest malls, one of the country's top outdoor shopping areas and so many authentic cafes and restaurants that you'll struggle to stay focused on the task at hand.
