Baggage Restrictions From Next Monday
Until now there had been no hand-baggage restrictions imposed at Canary Islands' airports, however, from Monday, November 6th, the European Union security restrictions will come into force at all Canary Islands airports.
No bottles with over 100 milliliters of liquids will be allowed, not even water.
You can take liquids onto the plane that have been bought in the duty free area of the airport, but any cheap booze you buy on the island will have to go into your hold suitcase (provided, of course, that the baggage handlers don't break it), but, as everyone knows, prices in the shops here are cheaper than the duty free.
Also overcoats, jackets, portable computers and other electronic equipment will have to be inspected separately. The restrictions apply to all airports in the Canary Islands, Spain and European Union and to all flights, including inter-island flights.

"Liquids - including drinks, soups, syrups, creams, oils, perfumes, gels, shaving foam, deodorants, toothpaste, mascara and lip salve - must be sealed in individual containers up to a maximum capacity of 100 millilitres each. The containers must then be placed in one transparent, re-sealable plastic bag (up to one litre capacity per passenger)."
