Tip Of The Day: Cigarette Prices In Gran Canaria

Cigarettes are cheaper in town than in the duty free Cigarettes are cheaper in town than in the duty free

Cigarette prices in Gran Canaria are still amongst the cheapest in Europe and it is almost always cheaper to buy them in a supermarket or local shop than in the airport duty-free.

A pack of twenty Marlboros, and most equivalent premium brands, costs around €3.20 in small shops all over the island while a carton of 200 Marlboros can be as cheap as €28 in local supermarkets and specialist shops. 

The only reason to buy ciggies at the airport is if you know that you can only get a particular brand in duty-free (but check around as resort shops stock a wide range).

Buying before you get you the airport hs another advantage: You can pack them away in your luggage and forget about them. 

Remember that Gran Canaria is outside the EU customs union so you are technically only allowed to take 200 cigarettes per person back to EU countries.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
