About the market
La Matanza de Acentejo sits at around 500 metres above sea level in the north of Tenerife, where cooler temperatures support vineyards and productive farmland. That agricultural heritage is central to this market. Stalls are run mostly by the people who grew or made what they're selling, which gives it a genuinely local feel compared to the larger tourist markets on the island.
The market is wheelchair accessible and accepts both cash and mobile payment.
What to buy
Local wines are the standout draw here. Producers from La Matanza's vineyards sell directly at their stalls, often with tastings, and bottles of Tenerife white wine are available at fair prices. You'll also find fresh fruits and vegetables, organic produce, local honey, olive oil and traditional handicrafts. Arriving early gives you the best pick of fresh produce and a better chance of finding the smaller artisan stalls.
