Arona Farmers Market

Arona Farmers Market (Mercado del Agricultor de Arona) sets up three mornings a week on Calle Cooperativa in Valle San Lorenzo, in Arona on Tenerife. It runs Friday and Saturday from 8am to 2pm and Sunday from 9am to 1pm, selling fruit, vegetables, fish, bread and organic goods. It is one of the street markets in Arona, and it trades outdoors in all three sessions.

What you'll find at Arona Farmers Market

Fruit and vegetables take up most of the tables, sold by the people who grew them, which is what the market's Spanish name, Mercado del Agricultor, refers to. Fish and seafood, bread and bakery, and organic products fill out the rest of the food stalls.

Handicrafts are the one non-food category here, so you can pick up locally made goods alongside the groceries. What is on the tables shifts with the growing season rather than staying fixed week to week.

If you want something quieter, Arona Old Town itself has a handful of smaller places to stay.

What day is Arona Farmers Market?

Arona Farmers Market runs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, every week and all year. Friday and Saturday are the long sessions, 8am to 2pm, and Sunday is the short one, 9am to 1pm. Go in the morning, since the stalls on Calle Cooperativa are packing away by early afternoon.

What can you buy at Arona Farmers Market?

Arona Farmers Market sells fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, bread and bakery goods, and organic products, sold by growers and producers rather than resellers. Handicrafts take up the remaining stalls, so there are locally made goods to buy alongside the food. What is on offer changes with the season.

Do stalls at Arona Farmers Market take cards?

Arona Farmers Market publishes no card facilities, so carry cash for Calle Cooperativa. Payment is settled stall by stall rather than at a central till, and whether one trader takes a card is not something the market states. Notes and coins are the safe thing to bring for all three days.
