Alcalá Agrotradition Market

Alcalá Agrotradition Market runs every Monday from 8am to 1pm on Paseo de la Jaquita, in Alcalá, part of Guia de Isora on the southwest side of Tenerife. Known in Spanish as the Mercadillo Agrotradicional de Alcalá, it puts growers' stalls next to artisan ones, and it is one of the street markets in Guia de Isora that packs away by early afternoon.

What you'll find at Alcalá Agrotradition Market

Fresh fruit and vegetables are the core of it, with organic products, cheese and dairy, and bread and bakery stalls alongside. Flowers and plants take up part of the pitch, and prepared foods mean you can eat something on the spot rather than carrying it home. The artisan side is handicrafts, which is what gives the market its agrotradicional billing: growers and makers on the same promenade rather than one or the other.

Nothing is listed about card terminals at these stalls, so carry cash. The market is entirely open-air, with no hall or covered section, which is worth knowing on a hot Monday morning.
