Puerto de la Cruz has two street markets, and between them they take up a Wednesday and a Saturday morning. The larger of the pair, Puerto de la Cruz Street Market, sets up 25 stalls and trades from 08:00 to 14:00 on both days. The second, Rastro del Parque Taoro, is a flea market whose trading day we have not been able to confirm, so check before making a special trip for it.

What is on the stalls
Antiques and second-hand goods are the thing that sets these two apart from a produce market. Alongside them you'll find clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, and handicrafts, which is the usual mix for a rastro rather than a farmers' market. Come for a browse and a rummage rather than a shopping list, and expect prices to be negotiable on the antique stalls in a way they are not in a shop.

Tips for visiting
Get there in the first couple of hours. With a 08:00 start and a 14:00 finish, the stalls are fullest before 11am and the sun on an open street in Puerto de la Cruz is hard work after that. Carry cash, since card acceptance varies from one stall to the next. Other towns in the province run markets on the days these do not, and the Santa Cruz de Tenerife province page lists them.
Where to stay in Puerto de la Cruz
Stay in the old town. Both markets are a walk from Casco Antiguo, which matters at an 08:00 opening when you would rather not be driving and parking first, and the seafront is on the same short walk. Hotel Monopol sits in the middle of that area. A car is useful for reaching markets elsewhere on Tenerife, but you will not need one for these two.
Is there a market in Puerto de la Cruz?
Yes, Puerto de la Cruz has two street markets. Puerto de la Cruz Street Market is the bigger one, with 25 stalls trading from 08:00 to 14:00, and Rastro del Parque Taoro is a second flea market in the town. Both are open-air street markets rather than covered food halls, and both are free to walk into.
What day is the market in Puerto de la Cruz?
Puerto de la Cruz Street Market trades on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 08:00 until 14:00 on each. Those are the only two confirmed street market days in the town, since the trading day of the second market, Rastro del Parque Taoro, is not confirmed in our records. Wednesday and Saturday mornings are the safe bet.
Are street markets in Puerto de la Cruz free to enter?
Yes, both street markets in Puerto de la Cruz are free to enter, with no ticket or entrance fee at either. You pay the stallholder directly for whatever you buy, and prices on the antique and second-hand stalls are usually open to a bit of haggling. Bring cash, as not every stall takes cards.
What time do street markets in Puerto de la Cruz open?
Puerto de la Cruz Street Market opens at 08:00 and packs up by 14:00, on both its Wednesday and Saturday trading days. The 25 stalls are at their fullest in the first three hours, so arrive before 11am for the best of the antiques, clothing and handicrafts rather than turning up as traders start loading up.
