Opposite check-in desks in T1, Farmacia covers last‑minute meds
Farmacia sits in Tenerife Sur’s Terminal T1 check-in area, so you can sort prescriptions or painkillers before heading through security. It operates daily in line with the main terminal opening hours, roughly from first departures in the morning until the last evening flights. This is a standard Spanish pharmacy, not a generic airport convenience shop, so expect real over‑the‑counter advice and regulated pricing rather than tourist mark-ups.
You’ll find common travel fixes here: ibuprofen and paracetamol in blister packs, motion-sickness tablets for the island’s winding roads, plus basic first-aid supplies like bandages and antiseptic. Skincare and suncare take up a lot of shelf space, with SPF 30–50 sunscreen and after-sun creams aimed at people who misjudged the Tenerife sun. Prices track normal town pharmacies on the island, usually only €1–2 higher per item at most.
Because Farmacia is landside in T1, it works well if you’re dropping a bag at check-in desks for airlines like Ryanair or Jet2 and remember you forgot prescription cream or need extra inhaler spacers. Staff generally speak Spanish and enough English to sort basics like dosage and usage timings. Payment by card is standard, and most major credit and debit cards are accepted without a minimum spend.
Plan one quick stop: hit Farmacia before joining security queues in T1 so you don’t have to backtrack from the departures level if you remember those travel sickness pills too late.
