El Médano Street Market
Twice-weekly open-air market with around 40 stalls selling clothing, jewelry, handicrafts and leather goods. Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9am to 2pm.
El Médano Street Market sets up twice a week in the centre of El Médano, a laid-back coastal town in southern Tenerife known for its windsurfing. Around 40 stalls line the plaza and surrounding streets every Wednesday and Saturday from 9am to 2pm. Most stalls accept card and contactless payments, though it's worth keeping some cash on you for the smaller sellers. Get there early for the best pick, as stalls start thinning out well before closing time.
What you'll find
The market leans towards fashion and accessories. You'll find clothing, leather goods, shoes, handmade jewelry and handicrafts spread across the stalls. Local artisans sell alongside general merchandise sellers, so there's a mix of one-off pieces and everyday bargains. If you're after fresh produce, the separate Mercado del Agricultor nearby covers that side of things.
El Médano's market is smaller than the big street markets in El Médano area but has a relaxed, unhurried feel that suits the town. It draws a mix of locals and visitors staying along the south coast.
