Faro 2

The Faro 2 is a shopping complex — well it used to be. The last 2 years we have been visiting here were rather disappointing. Most of the shops were empty or under new management. And the ones that remained were a sad little bunch of tourist hats, cheap cameras, bile, scooter rental, Real estate agents, some restaurants and a Spar supermarket. One good thing is that there is a German bakery that sells delicious fresh breads! — I may amend my review (good or bad) in March ’13 as I am going to Gran Canaria again.
The building’s ‘promenade is going round in a Spiral and there is a fountain feature in the centre. Which is nice and cooling on a hot day. There is no real need to visit unless you go for a meal at one of the Steak houses or a grocery shop.
They will accept the general credit cards — visa, MasterCard (most of the shop anyway) but they do prefer cash, especially in the restaurants.
There is also a mini-​golf and some jogging paths running around the building.
Every Sunday there is a big flea market which is a great way of buying local.stuff. 2^nd hand, handcrafted goods, watches (fake?), sunglasses, (faker?!) and hand bags (too obvious.) but it is fun and something to do on a Sunday morning in the sweltering heat: o) — some vegetable and fruit sellers are a welcome addition (fresh raspberries are soooooo tasty)
Hopefully this year it will be better.

Love this Shopping Centre,
Built in a circle.
