The resort of Puerto del Carmen is possibly the most famous Tourist Destination in Lanzarote. You will find the largest selection of Villas to rent in Puerto Del Carmen, and what goes hand in hand with this is the bars, restaurants, and shops that you expect to find with the larger tourist destinations when you are on your holiday. Walking distance from a lot of the Puerto Del Carmen hotels.
It seems to be a week of openings this week. Yesterday saw Brown’s Deli opening in Costa Teguise. Today it was the turn of the resort of Puerto Del Carmen and the opening of Claire’s Accessories on the third floor of the Biosfera Shopping Centre. Tucked away up the corner, the was almost brimming with Princess bling, hair bands and all the necessary glitter and glamour that any little or big girl could ever dream of wanting!
Now, I have to say that normally I rejoice when it comes to more choice in Lanzarote. I cannot help but miss the vast retail choices from back home in blighty. However, where is it all going to stop? I remember enjoying holidaying in the south of France with my family every year, and remember shopping in the Outlet Benetton shop that had lots more choice and was not as expensive as the one at home. This was a treat and something relished each year. I always managed to find something I liked. That’s whats great about going on holiday. Visiting different resorts, towns, cities, beaches, countries. You get to enjoy something particular to the area you are staying in.
What is happening to retail? Are we going to end up with all the same retail and high street shops everywhere we go in the world? Likewise, it doesn’t just seem to be the European Retail shops that are traveling across Europe and beyond but we also have new to Biosfera a Canadian high street store Ardene.
Don’t get me wrong, this shop with it’s abundance of cheap sandals and beachwear, couldn’t fit better into this beach and sun destination in Lanzarote. Ideally priced for the current economic crisis, an emergency new pair of sandals or bikini. It’s just the fear that it will all come a bit boring, if we cannot experience anything specific to the country, town or place we’ve chosen to visit.
So, for everyone with a penchant for all things bling and little girls, enjoy Claire’s but don’t forget that there’s a lot of other authentic things in Lanzarote to enjoy as well.
