By T1 departures security, Canary Store handles last‑minute souvenirs
Canary Store sits airside in Terminal 1, a short walk from the main departures security checkpoint, so you hit it after passport control and before most gates. It’s a general gift shop focused on Lanzarote and Canary Islands themes, handy if you skipped the resort shops in Puerto del Carmen or Costa Teguise. Expect standard airport pricing rather than bargain-basement deals, but you’re paying for catching everything in one stop before boarding.
The shelves lean hard into local flavor: you’ll see Canarian mojo sauces, aloe vera skincare made in the islands, volcanic rock trinkets, and bags of gofio alongside logo magnets and keyrings marked “Lanzarote.” Wine and liqueurs from La Geria vineyards usually sit near boxed sweets, so you can grab a €10–€20 edible gift without hunting around the terminal. Stock shifts a bit by season, but it consistently carries the tourist basics with the island branding people expect.
Opening hours generally track T1 traffic, with doors open from early morning departures through the final evening flights to mainland Spain and the UK; early Ryanair and easyJet passengers around 06:00 normally find it trading. Payment is straightforward: cards widely accepted, including contactless, and euro cash is fine. Liquids like mojo, rum or wine are sold post‑security, so they’re safe for direct flights within the EU and the UK from ACE.
Quick tip: if you want local sauce or liqueur, buy at Canary Store after security rather than landside supermarkets, so you avoid liquid issues on connections out of ACE.
