Our Lady of Africa Market

One of the most emblematic markets in TenerifeIn the heart of Santa Cruz since 1944Neocolonial architecture with Mudejar details (arch, courtyard, and tower)

One of the most emblematic markets in Tenerife, located in the heart of Santa Cruz since 1944. Its neocolonial architecture, with Mudejar details in the entrance arch, central courtyard, and tower, houses stalls of tropical flowers, exotic fruits, fresh fish, meats, spices, Canarian cheeses, and local products. The flower area and the central courtyard are especially photogenic.

The historic Sunday flea market moved to the Avenida Marítima in 2025, so it is no longer held next to the market.
