Local Picks - Experiences in Tenerife

Every experience you'll find here is handpicked by Tenerife Local Experts, people who live on the island and know it well. These are not algorithm-driven lists or paid placements, but honest recommendations based on first-hand knowledge. Whether it’s a quiet beach in the south, a mountain trail in Anaga, or a village festival in La Orotava, these picks come from everyday life and seasons that reveal different faces of Tenerife.

One tip from our local team: try timing your visit to the Mercado Nuestra Señora de África in Santa Cruz on a Saturday morning. It’s a lively market where locals source their fresh produce and you’ll get a taste of Tenerife’s flavors away from the usual tourist places. Local picks mean you get a real sense of what makes Tenerife tick throughout the year, not just the typical highlights.
