If you live near Las Canteras you can go to La Molina Shop, a shop in CC El Muelle that has lots of nice and curious things from the Canary Islands.

Maybe some aloe vera cosmetics or volcanic jewerly/from banana trees? And for food & drinks: bienmesabe, almogrote, palm honey, banana or tuno indio wine, maybe some goat cheese or mojo sauces.

  • A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
