Frequently asked questions
Are shops and supermarkets open on public holidays in Tenerife?
Mostly no. On public holidays banks, public offices and many shops close, and large supermarkets either close or run reduced hours. Tourist-area minimarkets and restaurants are more likely to stay open. Bus and tram (TITSA) services also run a reduced, Sunday-style timetable.
Is 6 December (Constitution Day) a public holiday in Tenerife in 2026?
No. In 2026, 6 December falls on a Sunday and is not separately observed as a holiday in the Canary Islands, so it is not in the 2026 Tenerife list. Always check the year you travel, as movable and substituted dates change annually.
What's the difference between national, Canary and local holidays?
National holidays apply across all of Spain; Canary Islands holidays (like Día de Canarias, 30 May) apply region-wide; and local/municipal holidays apply only to a specific town — for example Santa Cruz de Tenerife has its own Carnival Tuesday and 4 May dates. All of them can close shops and services in that area.
