Costa Adeje Market

Costa Adeje Market sets up in the open air along Brussels Avenue on Thursdays and Saturdays, 9am to 2pm, and there is nothing to see on the other five days. Around 100 stalls trade there, cash only, and plenty of people still search for it as Fanabe Market, or among Dutch-speaking visitors as the boerenmarkt. It is one of the markets in Adeje, alongside the town's other street markets.

About Costa Adeje Market

Nothing here is under a roof, and the trading window is fixed: five hours, twice a week, with everything packed away by 2pm. That makes it a morning out rather than a day out. Parking is on site, and the ground is flat enough to get round with a pushchair or a wheelchair.

What you'll find at Costa Adeje Market

One run of stalls is fresh fruit and vegetables, with local honey, olive oil, and wine and spirits alongside. The rest of the roughly 100 pitches go to clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, jewellery, handicrafts, flowers and plants, antiques, and books and magazines.

How to get to Costa Adeje Market

The stalls run along Brussels Avenue, known locally as Avenida de Bruselas, in Costa Adeje. If Thursday and Saturday don't fit your trip, the town's municipal market halls are listed separately.
