Tenerife’s first organic market planned

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007
Plans are in hand to give Tenerife its first organic farmers market. The town hall at Los Silos in the north west corner of the island hopes to have the organic market up and running by March of next year. The market will operate on Sunday mornings, though whether it will be a weekly, fortnightly or monthly event has still to be decided.

New farmers market proves a hit

Sunday, July 8th, 2007
krs6350001.jpg A new farmers market created in the heart of the traditional agricultural area on the island of Tenerife is proving to be a shrewd development. In the heart of the Orotava Valley in the town of La Orotava, the unofficial agricultural capital of the island for centuries, the new purpose-built market opened last month and has already established a popular following with locals and visitors alike. Nearly €300,000 was invested in a 1,500 square metre site to provide a covered market area big enough to house 40 stalls, together with a children’s playground, cafe/bar and parking for over 100 cars. The market, which runs on Saturdays and Sundays from 8.30am to 3pm, sells a good range of local produce and crafts, including fruit and vegetables, cheeses, honey, bread, cakes, eggs, wine, plants and flowers. krs6355001.jpg

Summer sales bulletin

Saturday, July 7th, 2007
Reports from the first week of summer sales in Tenerife indicate there are plenty of bargains to be had, but better deals in prospect in the weeks ahead (see earlier post time to snap up the bargains). My spies were out in La Orotava and the nearby Villa Centro shopping mall this week. In La Orotava itself, there were plenty of 'rebajas' signs to be seen and some headline discounts of 20, 30 and 50 per cent. One shop promised 70 per cent reductions, but closer inspection revealed little on display to justify the extravagant claim. In Villa Centro the story was much the same, one shop proclaiming 80 per cent reductions. A check round the shelves revealed little more than token items justifying the banner.

Buses staging a comeback

Friday, July 6th, 2007
Mindful of the need to get people out of their cars and on to public transport, the island authorities on Tenerife are looking to increase the frequency and coverage of the services. Just a few weeks after the launch of the new tram service that connects the island capital of Santa Cruz with the neighbouring town of La Laguna, the island bus operator, TITSA, has announced a raft of improvements to services in the north of the island. The frequency of services between the northern town of Icod de los Vinos and Santa Cruz (service 106) has been boosted by an additional eight journeys a day. Line 363, which runs from Puerto de la Cruz to Buenavista del Norte ...
