Mercado Municipal, this is one of the larger malls (but still it's not that big, I think). Also a good place to meet locals in the cafeterias. And there's a larger supermercado downstairs. Parts of the mercado were closed during my visit in November 2011.

What to buy: At this mall, you can buy food, fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers, clothes and the usual tourist items. You shold buy the original Canaries stuff like mojo sauces (green and red) and palm syrup. Also the local rum made out of palm syrup is a great gift to take home.

Centro Comercial Martianez: The pyramids of Martianez mall

The glass roof of the building resembles pyramids. A mall at the east side of town, here you can buy clothes, shoes, watches and jewelry, food and unpacked bread. There's a very nice tea shop selling varieties of tea and tea making items, a cafeteria & ice cream bar and of course a food store. Also a small bus station at the garage underneath where the free hotel buses come.

What to buy: When in the Canaries, remember to buy the local mojo sauces (red and green) and palm syrup. Also the local rum made out of palm syrup is a speciality and a great gift to take home.

Largest and pretty extensive bookshop in all the Canaries.Largely second hand and the range is extensive and i particularly enjoyed finding old Agatha Christie deductive books ,long out of print in Britain and Canada,.It is also a very natural meeting point for the British community with loads of up to the minute tips and details of whats on .From Kalutra in SriLanka to Victoria B.C. the British Empires Commonwealth residue appears to live on in music halls,daffodil tea parties and jumble sales for the local needy.and this is G.H.Q. for poerta Cruz.

What to buy: In addition to the obvious, greeting cards and childrens learning aids.

What to pay: One Euro upwards

Quite a find apart from its extensive veggie,herbal selection the new age books,chrystals,incenses,astoral {tarot}cards and fengshui paraphanelia was aplentiful and in obvious demand.

What to pay: Prices were on the whole pretty reasonable
