Markets in Tigaday
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands
Markets in Tigaday centre around the weekly Mercadillo de La Frontera, held every Sunday morning in the Plaza Nueva. Tigaday is the main town in the municipality of La Frontera on El Hierro, the smallest and most westerly of the Canary Islands.
The market draws locals and visitors to pick up fresh produce, local cheeses, and handmade crafts. With around 15 stalls, it's a relaxed affair that reflects the island's unhurried pace of life.
