What is shopping at El Trompo like?
El Trompo is laid out around open-air spaces rather than a single enclosed mall. You can wander between shops, take a break in the central area and stop for a coffee or meal without spending the whole visit indoors. The centre describes a varied mix of fashion, shoes, sport, beauty and electronics, alongside services for everyday errands.
The setting is particularly useful if your group has different plans: one person can browse while another pauses for a drink or takes the children to the play area. Because the walkways are open to the air, take that into account when choosing a day to visit.
Can you eat there or visit with children?
Yes. El Trompo has cafés and restaurants as well as a children’s playground and play areas. That makes it possible to combine shopping with lunch or give younger visitors a break between stores. You do not need to plan the whole outing around shopping alone.
The centre also advertises free Wi-Fi. Its free parking includes covered and outdoor spaces, useful if you are driving over from Puerto de la Cruz. Restaurant opening times may be different from shop hours, so check a particular place if you are planning a late meal.
