Mercadillo Municipal de La Frontera
La Frontera's municipal market is set up on Plaza Benito Padrón in Tigaday, the main town of this El Hierro municipality. The town council runs it under its own internal rules approved in 2012, and it is the island's most complete market: 22 stalls across a little over a thousand square metres, with local produce, El Hierro cheeses, baked goods and handmade craftwork.
The Mercadillo Municipal de La Frontera is set up on Plaza Benito Padrón in Tigaday, the main town of the municipality and the commercial reference point for this side of El Hierro. The town council runs it directly, under its own set of internal rules approved in 2012. On a small, uncrowded island it works as the fullest showcase of local produce: almost everything on sale comes from nearby farms and small workshops.
The 22 stalls spread across a little over a thousand square metres and cover a wide range for an island this size: fruit and vegetables, El Hierro cheeses, bread, pastries and liqueurs, mojos and pâtés, aloe vera products, artisan pasta, florists, costume jewellery and handmade crafts. The site has its own parking, a children's area, public toilets, wifi and level access for wheelchairs, which also makes it a meeting point for the neighbourhood.
