Santa Brígida's farmers' and craft market fills the Paseo del Guiniguada, right in the old centre of the Villa.

A small bar at the back of the building is well known for its grilled meat and cheese sandwiches.

Live music is usually part of it.
The municipal market of San Sebastián de La Gomera sits on Avenida de Colón in the island capital and is a small market for island produce.

Arafo's farmers market runs on Thursday mornings on the road linking Güímar and Arafo, at the entrance to the village. It gathers produce from the Güímar valley, a belt of midland farmland with vineyards, market gardens and fruit trees looking out over the south east coast. You buy straight from the grower, in a market small enough to walk in a few minutes and slow enough to talk in.
Set in the El Palmar valley, within the municipality of Buenavista del Norte, this farmers market brings together growers from the Ycoden Daute district in the far north west of Tenerife. It comes alive on Sunday mornings, when you buy straight from the people who work the land, with the Teno massif rising behind the stalls. The feel is small and local: unhurried, neighbourly, built around what the fields gave that week.
A market in the municipality of El Pinar de El Hierro, in the Taibique neighbourhood in the south of the island. El Hierro is the smallest and least travelled island in the archipelago, and its markets work mainly as a meeting point for local trade rather than as a visitor attraction. The municipality is made up of two settlements, Taibique and Las Casas, and the market operates on that order of magnitude.
