We are, of course, familiar with Farmers' Markets in the UK, but the selection and quality of the products in the Mercado or Mercadillo del Agricultor (Farmers' Markets) in Tenerife surpasses anything you can possibly imagine. The fruits and vegetables are unadulterated, "ugly" shapes, just like nature intended and have flavours that maybe only those of us the wrong side of 60 can remember.
As well as enjoying the sights, sounds, aromas and tastes, this is a great way to see and potentially buy something that is genuinely local to Tenerife.
So, I've compiled a list of them (in no particular order), with locations and opening times (where possible). There were far more of them than I anticipated. Do check the information direct with markets or town halls before making special journeys, because these details are liable to change beyond my control.

The Arona Farmer's Market has begun a new journey, sharing alternate Thursdays with outings to the bay of Los Cristianos and Las Galletas, in addition to Fridays and Saturdays at its facilities in Valle San Lorenzo. The Arona Farmer's Market opened Thursday, 23 June 2022 in Las Galletas for the first time in its almost five-year history, thus sharing alternate Thursdays with Los Cristianos, on whose coastline it has been settling in recent years with the objective of revitalizing this town, promoting local producers and putting the tourism and primary sectors in contact. The Farmer's Market now opens its doors on Fridays and Saturdays at the Valle San Lorenzo facilities, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., while on Thursdays it will alternate between Los Cristianos and Las Galletas from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. If in the first of these last two locations the stalls are located in the bay area, the premiere in the second takes place on the Rambla Dionisio González.
