The 3rd Feria Tricontinental de Artesanía will be held between 27 September and 5 October in the carpark area on the sea front  between the Conquistador hotel and Parque Santiago 1. The major fair has been organized by the Tenerife Cabildo and Arona Ayuntamiento and preparations, including the huge tents of more than 2,000 square metres, are already well underway.

The artisan fair brings together arts and crafts from three continents – Africa, America and Europe, particularly Spain and Portugal. The previous two fairs have attracted over 100,000 visitors, and organizers say that they hope this time will be even better for the more than 200 artisans who will be displaying at the fair. Entry is free, and doors open between 10am and 9pm. JA

I know. I walked past it twice while they were setting it up. Do you think events like this are timed deliberately for after i've gone home?

nah, doubt it but what a shame! We're going over on Monday to have a look ...

Well we were there today, this is a really good arts and crafts fair/market with some special stalls. There is sculpture from Peru, leather from the Andes, chess sets from Morocco, jewellery from Argentina, and that's without mentioning some fantastic stalls from the Canaries. If you were in any doubt, give it a go ... check out official photos HERE.

So glad I was not there. I would have spent money.

I don't think you would have done Myrtle, they only had pointless stuff like very attractive handbags. 

And now you are too late, because they are only there for another week.

Just for @Myrtle Hogan-Lance, in case she changes her mind ... still three days left ...

And this is that handbag stand after Myrtle's visit
