2 Nov — 8 Nov 2026

This first full week of November carries the warmth of Tenerife's Finados season into something fresh — a lineup rich with free guitar concerts in La Laguna's historic halls, a buzzing craft fair in Arona, and a trail run through the misty heights of El Tanque. Whether you're here for culture, community, or a good sweat, the island delivers. HIGHLIGHTS Eleonora Strino & Rocho 7 Cordas — 6Cuerdas Guitar Festival (Nov 5 & 6, La Laguna, FREE) Two nights, two extraordinary guitarists, zero cost. On Thursday, Italian virtuoso Eleonora Strino performs at the elegant Casino de La Laguna, followed on Friday by Brazilian artist Rocho 7 Cordas at the atmospheric Convento Santo Domingo. The 6Cuerdas festival is one of Tenerife's best-kept secrets — intimate, world-class performances in stunning historic venues. Arrive early; seats fill fast. TACET TACET TACET · Electronic · Audiovisual (Nov 6, Equipo PARA, 3€) For something completely different, head to Equipo PARA on Friday night for this immersive electronic and audiovisual experience. At just 3€, it's one of the most affordable ways to dive into Tenerife's experimental art scene. Expect pulsing soundscapes, visual projections, and the kind of evening you won't find on any resort itinerary. Trail el Tanque (Nov 8, Erjos) Cap off the week with a trail run starting from Erjos, high in the northwest where laurel forests meet volcanic ridgelines. Whether you're competing or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this is Tenerife at its most ruggedly beautiful. The area around El Tanque offers some of the island's most dramatic landscapes — worth the drive even if you're just cheering from the sidelines. ExpoMarket Arona 2026 (Nov 7, Arona) Saturday brings ExpoMarket to Arona, blending local artisans, food producers, and creative entrepreneurs into one vibrant marketplace. It's the perfect spot to pick up handmade gifts, sample local flavours, and connect with the community that makes Tenerife's south tick. QUICK PICKS Fiestas de San Martín de Porres kick off in Cabo Blanco on Sunday (Nov 2) — expect music, processions, and neighbourhood pride in full swing. Catch a free screening of "Demon Slayer: Mugen Train" at Espacio La Granja on Thursday. Jazz lovers should grab an 8€ ticket for Jazz & Dance III at Teatro El Sauzal on Thursday night. The 8th Tricontinental Craft Fair continues at Recinto Ferial, and don't miss the weekly Aperichill sunset sessions at Boca Chica in San Eugenio — free music and good vibes on the terrace. Over in El Sauzal, entries open for the XXI Nativity Scene Contest, a beloved local tradition. And if you need practical errands sorted, national ID and passport services come to La Matanza on Wednesday. For art lovers, several powerful exhibitions remain on view: "Cho Juaá: Collective Humor" at TEA, "Active Absence" at Fundación Mapfre Canarias, and the striking "Semilla Negra" at Sala de Arte Bronzo. CD Tenerife Women play a free match in Granadilla on Sunday — a great way to start the week with local passion.
