Get to Know the Market
A little background
he origins of the Guaza Market date back to the late 19th century, when farmers and artisans from the region would travel to the town of Arona to trade and sell their produce. As in so many other municipalities in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, street vending emerged in tandem with the agricultural calendar and livestock fairs, establishing itself over the generations as one of the town’s most important social and economic gatherings.
With the arrival of the 20th century and the economic transformation of rural areas, Arona’s occasional market evolved: it gave way to large textile and footwear stalls, incorporated vendors from other provinces, and became professionalized under municipal regulations. Many of today’s vendors are third- or fourth-generation members of families who have been attending this event for decades, maintaining a direct connection to the town’s commercial fabric.
Today, the Guaza Flea Market retains its down-to-earth charm while adapting to new trends: organic products, contemporary crafts, local cuisine, and a close relationship with consumers that large shopping centers simply cannot offer. The City Council and the vendors’ association work together to preserve its traditional character in the very heart of Arona.
