Markets in Tenerife sell everything from fake designer wear to the freshest local produce sold by the farmers themselves. You can also buy antiques, accessories, ceramics, handicrafts, vintage goods and much more. 

There’s an incredible variety of markets in Tenerife. Visitors can shop at local food markets, clothing markets, flea markets and craft markets. Everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to antiques can be bought, and by shopping here you can meet producers and small business owners.

Tenerife markets offer gifts, homeware, clothing, accessories and of course fresh locally produced food. Some of the best buys include vegetables, fruit, fish, cheeses, eggs, pastries, herbs, flowers, wine and more. This guide will walk you through some of the best markets on the island, including Google Maps links so you can check out the exact location and opening times (these are also shown in Google).

Read on to find the right Tenerife market for you to shop at – whether you want replica  Armani clothing or fresh local produce such as bananas, mango or tomatoes.   

Markets in Tenerife South

Markets in Southern Tenerife can be divided into fresh produce markets, clothing markets and flea markets. If you want to find a fish market in Tenerife South these are also covered, though they’re unlike the average markets. These have only a kiosk or a couple of stalls selling freshly caught seafood. 

Fresh Produce Markets

The freshest fruit and vegetables can be found at this sort of food market in Tenerife. All produce is locally grown, unlike at the island’s “fruterias” where imported produce is also sold. 

Foodstuffs like cheese, honey, eggs, wine, and homemade sweets are also available.

Agromercado de Adeje 

Agromercado de Adeje has 35 stalls. It’s not our number one choice, as prices can be higher here, perhaps as it’s advertised to tourists. But if it’s near where you’re staying, this fruit market in Tenerife is certainly worth a visit.

Generally another one will call by every quarter of an hour or so.
