Villa15 Guide · South Gran Canaria
Personal tips for groceries, drinks and shopping – from Mercadona and HiperDino to larger shopping centres in the south and in Las Palmas.
For everyday shopping, freshness, a good selection and easy parking matter most.
My first choice for fresh fish and an uncomplicated shop for fruit, vegetables and everyday groceries.
Easy to reach and particularly useful for drinks, wine and fresh meat.
For a longer shopping stop, three centres stand out – depending on whether you prefer atmosphere, a wider choice or a day trip to Las Palmas.
An open-air mall in Puerto Rico with shops, restaurants and spacious outdoor areas.
Mogan Mall is particularly pleasant because of its open layout. Alongside well-known shops, there are several restaurants and cafés, making it easy to combine shopping with a meal or drink.
For a longer browse, it is my preferred mall in the south – not enormous, but well maintained, easy to navigate and especially pleasant in the evening.
A large air-conditioned mall in Vecindario with many shops and a large Carrefour.
Atlántico Shopping Center is useful when you want to combine several errands in one trip. Alongside fashion, electronics and other shops, the large Carrefour is convenient for groceries and larger purchases.
Its location close to the motorway makes access straightforward. The centre is more functional than atmospheric, but it is practical and versatile.
A useful option if you are already planning a trip to Las Palmas and want to combine sightseeing with shopping.
Las Arenas offers a broad range of shops and a traditional food court. For visitors staying in the south, the trip makes most sense when a day in Las Palmas is already planned.
Compared with Mogan Mall, Las Arenas feels more urban and functional. In return, the choice is wider and the visit can easily be combined with other stops in the capital.
