Mercado del Agricultor San Miguel de Abona
Las Chafiras
The San Miguel de Abona Farmers Market, located in the Las Chafiras area, is one of the southern destinations for those seeking quality local produce. It offers consumers the best of the island's agriculture and gastronomy, with stalls selling freshly harvested fruits and vegetables, artisanal cheeses, wines with designation of origin, homemade pastries, traditional breads, honey, and other products made on the island.
The value of this market lies in the direct relationship between farmer and customer: visitors buy without intermediaries, ensuring freshness, fair prices, and a very personal touch. This contact turns each purchase into an authentic experience, maintaining the connection between the land and the table. In addition, alongside fresh food, flowers, plants, and organic products are offered, expanding the variety and appeal of the place.
The market is open on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., becoming a weekly must-see for both locals and visitors looking for something more than just a place to shop. During these mornings, the area is filled with aromas, colors, and life, reflecting the essence of the Canarian countryside in the heart of the southern region. For residents, it represents a way to support the local economy and keep agricultural customs alive, while for tourists, it offers a genuine experience of Tenerife, removed from mass tourism and linked to the island's traditions.

Where to eat
Heladería Artesanal la Tejita
If you're in the La Tejita area and fancy something refreshing after the beach, this ice cream shop is a great place to stop. Here you'll find artisanal ice creams with a variety of delicious flavors, perfect for a quick treat while you're strolling or relaxing after a day at the beach. It's a simple, pleasant, and very convenient spot to indulge without any fuss.
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
Cho Pancho
If you're looking for a truly Canarian experience, the Cho Pancho Recreation Area is exactly that: a day trip up into the mountains. Come here with family or friends, set up a picnic or barbecue, and forget about the daily grind. It's a simple place, surrounded by nature, where the most important thing is spending time together. One of those time-honored traditions that, although it has changed, remains very much alive.
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
Miel Tament
Tament, which means "honey" in the Amazigh language, is an artisanal gem produced on the same estate that makes Nevales de Abona wine, using Canarian black bees. It is multifloral, pure, and deep golden in color, with a smooth texture and balanced sweetness. Although it doesn't have an official organic seal, it is produced using sustainable and traditional methods. Like the wines, this product can only be found at the San Isidro Farmers Market, at Elsa's stand.
Sports
Circuito Motocross
The San Miguel de Abona Motocross Circuit is one of Tenerife's premier motocross venues. Its technically designed volcanic terrain combines jumps, tight turns, and fast sections, offering fun for both experienced and beginner riders. Located in an arid environment overlooking the sea, it is a popular meeting point for motorsports enthusiasts, with a local atmosphere, training sessions, and competitions throughout the year.
Trekking
Sendero Montaña Roja
Walking the circular route that starts in El Médano and heads toward Montaña Roja is like stepping into an otherworldly volcanic landscape: reddish sand, deep blue sea, and the wind that caresses you with every step. You can see World War II bunkers, aquatic birds, and panoramic views of the southern part of the island. You'll love it if you're looking for an easy hike with that "reconnect with nature" feel in southern Tenerife.
