Official Opening of Corralejo's news shopping center Las Palmeras

Corralejo in Fuerteventura is proud to announce its newest shopping center in the center of town is now officially open for business.

The brand new shopping center has seen over the last few weeks more and more doors being opened to the public seeing the shopping center come to life. The simple grand ceremony to officially open took place on the 10^th of September.
situated on the main highstreet of Corralejo the shopping center covers three floors with plenty of underground parking. The Modern glass elevators looking over the shopping center connects all of the floors.

Raul Aro Perez, the commercial centre director said, "We are very excited that all the hard work has been worth while and that the shopping center is now open, this is a very exciting time"

Some of the shops now open include, Zara, Fund Grub, Natural, Stradiverious, Espirit, with a total of 27 being open eventually. It will be an exciting time to see what else will be opening.

On the lower floor of the development is a large supermarket operated by "Spar". The modern bright store has a fresh meat and fish section and a large fresh vegetable department. The design of the spar itself is very modern doing away with paper and plastic price boards giving every item an electronic price tag, the look of everything being uniform certainly has a lovely and sleek effect. Next to the supermarket is a coffee shop and cafe where wives can park their husbands while they attend to the shopping. The cafe has internet and WiFi facilities. After a long and hard shop it is nice to sit and relax looking over the fantastic water features.

BuyIn Fuerteventura who attended the opening ceremony of the commercial centre believes that the centre will be a huge boost for residents and the tourists of Corralejo.

CHRISTMAS COMES TO CORRALEJO

The Christmas lights are now on at the El Campanario Shopping Centre and they are beautiful. You can see the lights from far away as they reach right to the top of the bell tower which is the highest point in Corralejo. (El Campanario is Spanish for bell tower). The top of the tower now has an angel at each corner.

Spanish Christmas carols will be sung by children from all over the island on each Saturday leading up to Christmas.

El Campanario is a replica of a typical Canarian village where visitors can browse through open-air Canarian streets whilst shopping in the up-market shops which include mens and ladies clothes shops, sports shops, opticians, cosmetics and leather shops. There is also a large supermarket and, for drivers, an underground car park.

On the first and third Sunday of each month a Canarian market is set up in the square, where you can buy objects of art, flowers, local fruit and vegetables and many other items.

If you don’t like shopping it is still a good place to go as you can sit at a table in the plaza enjoying a drink while watching the world go by.
If you want to take in the views of Corralejo, Lobos and Lanzarote you can ascend to the top of the bell tower where the view is amazing. This new shopping centre is definitely a place not to be missed, especially at this time of year.
