What you'll find at Puerto de la Cruz Street Market

Four trades fill the 25 or so pitches: clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, antiques, and handicrafts. Both trading days run the same 8am to 2pm hours, so the market is a morning errand rather than an afternoon one, and the pattern is weekly with no seasonal break. Stalls take cash, contactless cards and mobile payments, which is worth knowing at an outdoor rastro where cash is often the only option.
