Shopping in Tenerife

Shopping in Tenerife is one thing if you are a tourist, and quite another if you live here.  British and Irish expats obviously visit many of the main shops and supermarkets that islanders do, but they will also visit specialist shops selling products from the UK.

The main supermarket chains in the south are Mercadona, Hiperdino and Hipertrebol while in the north, this list expands to Al Campo and Carrefour.

Doing the weekly shopping at ‘British’ supermarkets may work out slightly more expensive, but they do stock the sort of things that you might miss from the UK.
