Where to stay in El Médano
Staying close to the seafront puts you a few minutes' walk from where the stalls set up. El Médano town centre is your best base, with the beach, the main square and the Wednesday and Saturday market all within easy walking distance.
If you'd prefer something more comfortable, Hotel Playa Sur Tenerife is a solid choice right by the water, and small apartments along the beachfront strip work well too for a longer stay.

Street markets in El Médano
The El Médano Street Market runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9am to 2pm, with stalls set up in the streets near the town centre. The 40 stalls cover everyday and holiday buys, from handmade jewellery and leather goods to casual clothing and locally made crafts. Because El Médano is one of Tenerife's main windsurfing destinations, it is easy to combine a morning at the market with time on the beach or along the coastal promenade. The Granadilla de Abona tourism office can provide details on any additional local events running during your visit.
If you are exploring the wider area, Arona and Granadilla de Abona both hold regular market days within easy reach of El Médano.
What day is the market in El Médano?
The El Médano street market runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 9am to 2pm both mornings. It is the town's only market, so those are the two days worth planning around, and the stalls set up in the streets near the town centre rather than in a covered hall.
What time does the El Médano market open?
El Médano's street market opens at 9am and closes at 2pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays. That makes it a morning market rather than an all-day one, and since the town has no second market to fall back on, missing the 2pm close means waiting for the next trading day.
What can you buy at the El Médano market?
El Médano's street market sells clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, jewellery and handicrafts across its 40 stalls. The mix leans towards things you wear and things you take home rather than groceries, which is worth knowing if you were expecting fruit, fish or a butcher's counter.
Is there a market in El Médano on a Sunday?
No, El Médano has no Sunday market. The town's single street market trades on Wednesday and Saturday only, from 9am to 2pm, so a Sunday morning means looking elsewhere in Santa Cruz de Tenerife province for somewhere trading that day.
