Tourist Traps
Calle General Franco, the main street in Corralejo, is lined with souvenir shops, electronic goods emporiums and jewellery stores. As such, it attracts many a visitor keen to make sure those holiday Euros don’t burn a hole in their Hawaiian shorts pockets.
Also watch out for pushy timeshare reps bearing scratch cards. Hang around long enough and you’ll find out that ‘everyone’s a winner’ – of sorts.
