T1’s main corridor holds Gift Shop Malecón by the gates
Gift Shop Malecón sits airside in Terminal 1 at Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International, just past the central security lanes and before most domestic boarding gates. It focuses on classic San Andrés souvenirs: fridge magnets under COP 10,000, logo T-shirts, simple beach bags, and small bottles of local hot sauce. Stock is basic but handy if you forgot to pick up anything in town before heading to ADZ.
Prices run higher than shops along the actual Malecón in town, with snacks and packaged sweets often 20–30% more than downtown San Andrés supermarkets. You’ll find standard Colombian candies, single-serve coffee packs, and a few branded rum miniatures sized at 50 ml that stay under most airline liquid limits. Nothing here feels duty-free bargain level, so treat it as last‑minute buying, not serious shopping.
Most flights at ADZ cluster in the morning and early afternoon, and Gift Shop Malecón typically opens by the first departures bank and stays open through the last larger airline departures to BOG and MDE. Stock can look picked over after the midday rush, especially T-shirt sizes and keychains. If you care about design or size options, shop before 11:00 instead of waiting for boarding calls.
Plan one quick walk-through: grab a magnet, a couple of 250 g coffee packs, then head back toward your gate so you’re in boarding range when your airline starts pre-boarding groups.
