Fresh organic discoveries at Sunday Farmers Market - Mancha Blanca
A must visit on a Sunday morning. Mercadillo Agricultura Mancha Blanca.
On Sundays, (our weekly shopping ritual!) is the small farmers market in Mancha Blanca from 10 to 2pm. It’s ideal for seeing the Canarian way of life. Set in the sleepy village of Mancha Blanca opposite the church, is a small selection of market stalls selling a range of locally grown and organic produce. You’ll find a few artisan stalls selling local wine, liquors, jams, chutneys, bread, cakes, a variety of local goats cheese, flowers, fresh herbs, eggs, pulses together with a variety of locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables. The summer season watermelons and strawberries are a must! Here you will also find a sociedad (social centre) serving coffee, beers and wines together with the menu of local tapas and main meals. A perfect spot to sit back and watch Canarian life. It gets busy from 11am onwards. The sociedad also has a play park for the little ones if they get a little bored with the food shopping! Mancha Blanca is located to the West of
La Vegueta and to the south of Tinajo. Only a 10 minute drive from Finca Malvasia. A further 2 minutes down the road from the Market you can find two of our favourite local restaurants; El Tenique (famed for goats stew ) and Las Cadenas. All in all the combination makes for a perfect foodie Sunday!
