North Market
La Orotava's indoor municipal market with 25 stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, bread, and flowers. Open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 3pm.
Mercado Norte is the indoor municipal market at the heart of La Orotava, a historic town in the Orotava Valley on Tenerife's north coast. With 25 stalls under one roof, it opens Monday to Saturday from 8am to 3pm, making it a reliable daily stop for locals throughout the week. The market is closed on Sundays.
What to buy
The stalls cover the full range of everyday fresh produce: fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, bread and bakery goods, and cut flowers. Given La Orotava's position in the fertile Orotava Valley, expect good locally grown produce including bananas and subtropical fruits typical of the area. It's a working neighbourhood market, so what's on the stalls tends to reflect what's in season rather than what's aimed at tourists.
