Mercadillo de Los Cristianos
Los Cristianos
The Los Cristianos Market is a true institution in southern Tenerife, famous for its size and variety. Located on Avenida de Juan Carlos I, just steps from the beach and the promenade, this open-air market brings together hundreds of stalls every week, turning the experience into a journey filled with colors, aromas, and sounds. The offerings are as wide as they are diverse: summer clothing, shoes, bags, beach accessories, crafts, toys, jewelry, traditional souvenirs, and even home decor products.
What sets it apart is its multicultural atmosphere: both vendors and visitors come from all over the world, creating a unique mix of accents, styles, and offerings. Walking through its aisles is an exercise in observation, haggling, and constant discovery, with items for all budgets. Furthermore, its proximity to the promenade and bars and restaurants makes the visit part of a complete leisure plan, perfect to combine with a swim at the beach or a traditional meal.
The market is open on Sundays and Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., making it a regular event for both residents and tourists looking to make the most of their morning. Thanks to its spaciousness and organization, it's one of the most popular and busiest markets on the island. For many visitors, wandering among the stalls and returning laden with souvenirs is part of the essence of a holiday in southern Tenerife, where shopping blends seamlessly with the relaxed atmosphere of the coast.

Where to eat
D´Tapas
If you work in the Las Chafiras area and are looking for a simple place to have an early breakfast or a good lunch without spending a lot, Cafetería De Tapas is a very practical option. The place caters to local workers, so it opens early and is great for quick breakfasts and a set lunch menu for €11. The food is homemade, tasty, and well-prepared for the price, served in a clean and uncomplicated atmosphere.
What to see
La Hoya
The hamlet of La Hoya, in San Miguel de Abona, is one of those places that helps you understand what life was like in southern Tenerife before tourism. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest as an Ethnological Site, it preserves traditional architecture, historic paths, water sources, and agricultural terraces in a rural setting that has changed very little over time.
Activities
A.O.C. PETANCA, LOS CRISTIANOS
The A.O.C. Petanca Los Cristianos is a veteran club in the south of Tenerife, right across from the beach, where passion for this traditional sport is in the air. Located in a quiet, sunny area, it brings together local and visiting players looking for a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. More than just a court, it's a social meeting place where camaraderie, laughter, and healthy competition keep alive a deeply rooted custom in the Canary Islands.
Beaches
Playa de los Cristianos Puerto
Los Cristianos Beach, next to the port of the same name, is one of the most iconic beaches in southern Tenerife. Protected from the waves by the pier, it offers calm waters and golden sand, perfect for swimming and strolling. From the shore, you can observe the activity of the fishing port and the departure of ferries to La Gomera, combining a local atmosphere with the maritime charm of a traditional coastal town.
Nightlife
Roca Blanca
This beach club, located right on the seafront in one of the quietest areas of Los Cristianos, is ideal for enjoying a leisurely cocktail and stretching out the afternoon until sunset. It features a terrace with tables, a swimming pool, and Balinese beds, which should be reserved in advance. The atmosphere is relaxed, with music and a DJ, perfect for quiet get-togethers with friends or even for working from home with ocean views. It's not a place for formal dining, but rather for savoring the experience, the friendly service, and the sunset as the main attraction.
Shopping
