Los Cristianos Market
About
Los Cristianos Market, the largest market in southern Tenerife, bursts to life every Tuesday and Sunday from 9 am to 2 pm. Nestled on Avenida Juan Carlos I just beside La Playa and the Arona Gran Hotel & SPA, the market offers a dazzling assortment of stalls selling souvenirs, clothing, cosmetics, handmade crafts, and local delicacies such as aloe vera products and beach towels. Its lively, bustling atmosphere showcases the island’s vibrant commercial culture, inviting both locals and tourists to wander, haggle for bargains, and sample something new. While the market’s popularity means it can become crowded—and pickpocketing is a common concern—its proximity to the town centre and the sheer variety of goods make it a must‑visit for anyone looking to experience authentic Tenerife shopping.
