Shopping in Corralejo
So you've done the sunbed, cooled off in the pool, indulged in a cocktail or two and it's only lunchtime! If you have the energy and you're looking for something to do before the next service of all inclusive then why not head off and explore some of the wonderful shopping opportunities around Corralejo. The main street has a generous offering of 'seaside' style outlets where you can pick up holiday essentials like the inflatable dolphin for the kids (or big kid!), sun cream, newspapers and trinkets mingled with some designer outlets like Mango and Benneton. But if your looking for something a little more unique then check out the side streets and the old town down by the marina for some quality local crafts and boutiques. Not forgetting that Corralejo is also a real town you will also find a number of reasonably priced supermarkets and shopping centres with some familiar 'high street' names.

In particular its a popular and effective treatment for sunburn, it's possible to get it drink form as a health supplement however we have it on good authority that it's 'an aquired taste'
