The two craft fairs in Tenerife
The Plaza del Príncipe de Santa Cruz hosts the 25th edition of the Three Kings Crafts Fair, while the Christmas Crafts Market celebrates its 14th edition in the Adelantado square.
The hours of the two fairs, which will remain open until the night of January 5, will be from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with a small interval of one hour, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., in which the stalls will remain closed. In addition, the night before the Three Kings, the hours will be extended until midnight.
In both cases, professionals with a craftsman license participate who have been selected according to the criteria established in the call launched by the Cabildo last August, with which priority is given to craftsmen who have registered as self-employed, have their own brand or have a website, among other requirements.
