Tenerife attractions for art shopping (Tenerife attracciones por compra de arte) are indeed countless. Art browsing and art investment are part of them. So is art production on the whole island.
The places where people paint and produce are often amazing. Tenerife attractions for art shopping don't just come by means of galleries or, by a 'vernissage'(exhibition).

I know of 6 foreign painters in Tenerife who all swear that the island gives them not only more ideas but, also more stamina and health to go on with creating art as Tenerife attractions.

Tenerife attractions Puerto de la Cruz cause art shopping:
Paseo San Telmo Puerto de la Cruz usually has its portrait street painters right by the beach front. They do YOU or your doggy while sitting in the open with a makeshift stall that protects against the sun while busy with pencil and brush. Others
do caricatures or, landscapes, there.
Tenerife attractions for buying music:
Some Peruvians on San Telmo beach front, who are dressed the part, play Inca music with flutes in Puerto de la Cruz. They have relevant CDs with their music art work on a table to sell it.
The Peruvian musicians in Puerto Cruz are an attractive and popular Tenerife attraction.
Some African men sometimes offer wooden sculptures in the same spot. It could be art; it's hard to say how original those things are.
Buy music CDs of mainly South American music by Tenerife artists after concerts... Find hotels listed at events Tenerife which sponsor them as free attractions...
Attend famous Tenerife attractions of folk music festivals... Try to buy the folk art CDs by their best musicians, who are called the Sabadeños... Some such CDs may be found in music shops on the biggest of all Canary islands.
Art shopping in any odd place:
You stumble upon Tenerife attractions for art shopping in ports, in forests and by Mount Teide. The artists often prefer the Canary Island open air studio to an indoor atelier as an attraction for art selling.
If you like, what they produce, ask for their phone number... Art shopping is always welcome later, just as well.
Art sale Santa Cruz before Christmas
Buy art from Canary Islands' youth in the Tenerife capital from Dec., 17th 2009 - Jan.,5th, 2010...Supermercado de arte (Supermarket of art) sells mainly smaller paintings from €50 - €300. Locate it downtown at Casa Elder, C/ Castello by Plaza de Candelaria... This art sale has made itself a name since 2003 by art awards received by some of the artists.
Art on Playa Jardin:
Some time ago, I saw a young German guy at Playa Jardin on the beach park promenade next to the bistro for hungry beach combers. He was sitting on a bench drawing and painting water color landscapes of his surroundings.
He looked so happy.
2o works by him were lined
up by the wall on the ground.
They were only of DINA4 size, which made them fit into cheap protecting see through plastic covers.
He sold each aquarel (water color painting) for €10 which is a give away.
They were not prints, by the way.
Please, mind, that he might only be one of Tenerife attractions for art shopping in winter. Summers in his native northern Europe serve him for selling his art work just as well.
Sand art to buy in Tenerife?
Then there's this other German Tenerife beach lover who makes astounding sculptures of black beach sand. His hat on the floor begs for a donation.
Perhaps, he'd come to your holiday home in Tenerife. He might do a sculpture for you out of other material on your property. Just ask...
I saw framed souvenir pictures with sand art at La Orotava's tourist shop opposite the famous Casa de los Balcones, some time ago.
Tenerife attractions art selling need license:
In April 2008 a beach artist was confronted by one of patrolling policemen of the Guardia Civil(not traffic police) on beach Playa Jardin.
He said that a license was needed to sell there. He told the lady artist if he would find her again on this spot offering her works she would be fined €90. She pointed out to him, how happy passing tourists were when they saw her displays. He said that he also enjoyed her art works as attractions for the beach but, that the law was the law.
She is expected to be back on Playa Jardin anyway disregarding the license threat because, she is seeing herself as one of Tenerife attractions for art shopping.
Café attractions for art shopping:
There are cafés, too, which offer exhibits in Tenerife. One such art café was in la Paz/'PuertoCruz'. It was too big, the rent too high. It closed.
However, there is
Café Bar Teatro in Puerto de la Cruz
opposite Hotel Banbi
Calle Iriarte
open 10a.m.to 2 a.m.
Artists which are Tenerife attractions themselves mingle at Café Bar Teatro.
Attractive art at medical doctors' rooms:
Even doctors have been part of Tenerife attractions for art shopping for quite a while. My friend Doris Chiandusi had named a few, before she died. I forgot their names. Doris was a graphic artist in Tenerife, you know...
Alberto Lombardo Italian Tenerife artist:
One of the Italian painters in Tenerife, I once met, is exhibiting modern art permanently in a big Santa Cruz museum.
I remember him as the tall handsome Italian Alberto Lombardo. This cubist painter who speaks Spanish well also knows some English and German. His own homepages don't seem to be live anymore. Admire Alberto Lombardo's art works at Interartonline... Try catch Alberto at his mobile Tel: 0034 + 606 850 485...
Carlo Forte Tenerife South artist:
Carlo Forte is an Italian painter.
Tel.: 0034 + 922 72 52 74
Book theme holidays on his finca (rural villa), where he teaches young and old.
He sells his art there as well. Attractions for art shopping and Spain art prices Tenerife:
All who do artwork or paintings in Tenerife will confirm that their art prices are much lower than in world cities which are known for the culture of art and which have a bigger market. A good oil painting that will fetch €1000 overseas can be bought in Tenerife for about €600 to €800. So much to Tenerife attractions caused by art...
If you were looking out for landscapes painted in oil, you may find them in The Calzada Martianez Puerto de la Cruz for &euro25. Those are sales of genuine paintings due to the 2010 recession.
Hence, Tenerife Spain is interesting for real art insiders, for art collectors or, for art investors.

Tenerife towns for art investments:
Stroll through the same oldest Tenerife resort and find a few galleries, a few steps from the main hub Plaza de Charco in Calle Quintana... Sorry, it's been closed.
I have seen other tiny shops selling paintings and drawings like in Calle Hoya and on the steps below the apartments hotel Casablanca Tenerife. Art galleries are all over Puerto de la Cruz. Always, try to negotiate art prices...
Tenerife attractions to collect art by Spanish art auctions:
Sorry, I have never heard of any art auction houses in Spain Tenerife.
Art on Tenerife flea markets:
Although flea Market de Nuestra Señora de Africa in Santa Cruz Tenerife is definitely one of Tenerife attractions for its sheer size alone, flea markets are not the best source for art shopping.
You might be lucky with a framed old painting, though. You never know what you may find.
But, you must be real early for that. Best before 9 am in Santa Cruz, Avda. José Manuel Guimera. Sundays open only... It closes by 2p.m. A reasonably good piece of art would disappear on the double.
No contemporary good art producer will sell on flee markets. Shoppers there normally negotiate prices too much.
As a last note, it remains to say that mostly paintings and drawings are offered in Tenerife art shops. Other artwork, such as sculptures, are rarely for sale..
Handy crafts are a different field, although, I saw exceptional works at the shop El Limonero bordering on art.
More attractive art galleries and art studios may be found by going from Tenerife attractions to Puerto de la Cruz where art can be bought.
Tenerife Art supply and accessories:
To support Tenerife attractions for art shopping which you might want to produce yourself the following shops are a must know:
Puerto de la Cruz also has a good art odds and bits supply shop at corner Calle Mazarocco and Calle Vieja. An other such facility is at La Villa Al Campo Mall La Orotava to be seen from TF 5 (exit la Villa) straight opposite Al Campo supermarket.

The best buy shop for the handyman Le Roy Merlin Megashop La Orotava, which is opposite the same center, sells you frames and/or frames for you at reasonable prices.
