Your island guide to the best beaches, events, nature, life & culture
One week ago Tegueste (Tenerife) hosted a lively classic car meet that brought together collectors, families and fans of Italian engineering. From long rows of Alfa Romeo coupes to a headline-grabbing Ferrari, the event filled the local car park with polished bodywork, club stands and accessories stalls. Below you’ll find a curated sequence of eight photos that walk through the day from a wide overview to detailed moments and club activity.
This panoramic scene sets the stage: a full car park, rolling Anaga foothills in the background and a line of sponsor tents where visitors stopped for information and products. The atmosphere was relaxed and very family-friendly, with steady foot traffic throughout the morning.
One of the biggest draws was the extensive Alfa Romeo presence. Enthusiasts compared restorations, interiors and original details while club members answered questions and pointed out period-correct features.
When this Ferrari rolled through, conversations paused and phones came out. The model’s wedge shape and side strakes made it the undisputed center of attention and a perfect counterpoint to the curvier Alfa silhouettes nearby.
Back among the Alfas, the variety of colors and trims stood out. From deep greens to period blues and greys, each car told a different story of ownership, paintwork, and careful maintenance.
Front-end lines are where Alfa Romeos really shine: heart-shaped grilles, slim bumpers and brightwork that rewards a slow walk-around. Many owners proudly kept their cars close to stock with tasteful period updates.
This row captured the social side of the meet. People swapped tips on sourcing parts in the Canaries, engine tuning for occasional hill climbs, and the best local workshops for upholstery and carburetor work.
At the club stand, a race-prepped coupe drew a constant crowd. The stripped interior, period numbers and auxiliary lights showed a competition-oriented side of local ownership beyond Sunday shows.
Support from automotive brands rounded out the experience with demos and giveaways. The vendor area provided shade and a natural meeting point for drivers to share build stories and plan future drives around Tenerife.
The Tegueste classic car meet delivered a strong showing for Italian icons—especially Alfa Romeo—plus a star appearance by a Ferrari that thrilled the crowd. If you’re planning a visit to Tenerife and love vintage machinery, keep an eye on community calendars for the next gathering in Tegueste: easy access, great photo angles and a welcoming local scene make it a must for enthusiasts and photographers alike.
