Rastro de Santa Cruz
The Rastro de Santa Cruz is the traditional Sunday flea market of Tenerife's capital, with around 400 stalls licensed by the city council. For more than 30 years it was held around the Mercado Nuestra Señora de África, and since 16 March 2025 it has been set up along Avenida de la Constitución and Avenida Marítima, with stalls spread over two levels, on the upper pavement and in the car park area below.
The Rastro de Santa Cruz is the Sunday market of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and, in the city council's words, an essential part of the city's commercial and cultural life. It brings together around 400 stalls holding a municipal licence, which the city council allocates by lottery and which change position every six months, so that every vendor gets a turn at the most visible spots.
For more than 30 years it was set up around the Mercado Nuestra Señora de África, until the council moved it, for safety reasons, to its current site along Avenida de la Constitución and Avenida Marítima, where it has been held since 16 March 2025. There the stalls occupy two levels: the upper pavement of the avenue and the car park area below.
