Big Supermarkets in Arecife
You’ll find big supermarkets like a Mercadona or Spar in Arecife. We suggest you to do shopping after arriving in Arecife and before heading to Caleta de Famara.
If there’s later a need for you to get to a big Supermarket (e.g. to buy 4kg of Langostinos for a fish BBQ) you’ll be there in approximately 25 min. from Famara.
Surf shops in Caleta de Famara
You can buy clothes like T-Shirts, hoodies, jackets, trousers, surf shorts, shoes, etc. and several accessoirs like caps, sunglasses, braclets, necklaces, etc.in the local surf shops. Of couse you get sports articles as well. You can buy your own wet suits, surf- skate and longboards, etc. and accessories. Most important is that you’ll get a sunscreen stick 50+ with Zinc whitch doesn’t go off while beeing in the water. Because of this reason this stick is recommended and used by the most Surf trainers.
Local
There is a local market in Teguise from 10 am to 2 pm on every sunday. You’ll be able to buy craftmanship and sadly jumble aswell. But in the end it is worth a visit.
