OK, then it's near Bazzas. Can't recall exactly where Bucanero is, but it's going to be close to the row of shops where Admiral Travel is. Think there are one or two sort of duty-free style shops opposite Admiral ... not that I'm saying it's one of those of course ...

From the shop's own advert HERE selling electronics and tobacco since 2001. Can't find out immediately whether the owners are Spanish or not, but would suspect not.

Another horror story HERE
Quote:
I have same kind of problem like Joanie. I went to Max Electronics (Los Cristianos, Tenerife) and ask prices of videocameras. After long discussions they ask my Visa that they can show me to price of camera (170 e). After that they presents many diffrent cameras and DVD:s. I decided that I dont`t by anything. When I came back to Finland I noticed that there was taken 170 e for my Visa (Mac Electronics)and I didnīt get any items.
