Where to stay in La Matanza de Acentejo
La Matanza de Acentejo is a small rural town, so your best bet is staying in the town centre where you'll be close to the market and can easily walk to local restaurants and cafes. Alternatively, the nearby north Tenerife coast, especially around Puerto de la Cruz, gives you a wider choice of hotels and is just a short drive away.
If you prefer to stay right in the area, look for rural guesthouses and casa rural options in Valle de La Orotava, which put you in the heart of the Tenerife wine country that the market celebrates.
