Strolling in the south
Shopping: Siam Mall, Gran Sur & outlets
From the air-conditioned mall to the outlet, shopping close by.
The Canaries are a special zone with low VAT, so shopping can pay off here. Around Costa Adeje there are several shopping centres, all just a few minutes from the holiday home.
Siam Mall & Gran Sur
The Siam Mall in Costa Adeje is the largest and most modern in the area: two floors with international brands, electronics, fashion and a food court. The neighbouring Centro Comercial Gran Sur adds more shops, a cinema and restaurants. Both are air-conditioned, pleasant on hot afternoons.
Outlet & weekly markets
Bargain hunters will find something in the outlet area (around the former “El Mirador”/Galeón). It gets more authentic at the region’s weekly markets, for example in Los Cristianos or Alcalá, where there is fruit, cheese, honey and crafts. The lower VAT often makes electronics, perfume and spirits in particular cheaper than on the mainland.
