Lifestyle: Cinema

If you stay here regularly, you probably have a different lifestyle than the average tourist that spends a holiday on this island. You won’t be practicing the same activities every day and you will probably prefer to enjoy the peace and tranquility of your own apartment, instead of visiting the busier areas of Tenerife. In that case, it might be a nice idea to spend the evening at the movies! But if your Spanish is not (yet) sufficient enough to follow a movie in this language, it is also possible to watch a movie in English at Cine GranSur and Zentral Center.

Lifestyle: Mercado de agricultor

A market visit is a very popular holiday activity. Ever heard of 'Mercados de agricultor'?

In several villages on Tenerife these markets take place during the weekend, both Saturday and Sunday mornings from 8am till 2pm. They are small local markets where farmers gather to sell their products. Not only fruits and vegetables can be bought there, but also a range of different artesanal products such as bread and pastries or the typical Canarian cheeses. All local and above all, fresh products!

Of course also Adeje has such a market, on the Las Torres square (C/Archajara), right in front of Makro and indeed very close to Baobab Domains. Definitely worth a visit!

Lifestyle: Gastronomy

In recent bulletins we have already talked about shopping, wellness, and also the range of possibilities with respect to sports have been discussed. According to us, however, there is still an important part to be mentioned in terms of 'Lifestyle ', i.e. gastronomy.

We do not intend to give any reviews about certain restaurants, etc. but we do would like to offer you further information on the authentic and typical Canary cuisine. And to get started, we refer to the following pages:

- Cabildo de Tenerife

- Toerisme van Tenerife 

- La Dispensa de Tenerife
