El Kilo
About
El Kilo serves Tenerife from Calle Heraclio Sánchez, 8, 38201 La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and the shop deals in fabric. Visitors rate it 4.2 out of 5 from 185 reviews, a figure that points to steady approval rather than uniform praise.
The 185 reviews give that 4.2 average a solid base, suggesting the shop has built a settled following over time. La Laguna sits inland in the north of the island, and the shop's position there makes it reachable from Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz, while travellers staying in the southern resorts around Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos can cross the island to reach it.
La Laguna is a university town in the north, and the shop's location on Calle Heraclio Sánchez places it within the town rather than on its outskirts. The website at http://www.elkilo.com/ carries the shop's own information for anyone planning a visit.
Spring and autumn bring warm days with fewer visitors, and the north of the mountainous islands is cloudier than the south, which is worth knowing when planning a day in La Laguna. Spanish is the main language, spoken with a distinctive Canarian accent and vocabulary.
