Markets in Lanzarote are more than just shopping spots — they’re places where local life and visitors meet. Here, local products, handmade crafts, curious travellers and friendly conversations mix in a relaxed, authentic atmosphere. Wandering through a market is one of the simplest ways to connect with the island’s culture.
Sundays in Teguise
Every Sunday, the village of Teguise fills with life as locals and tourists gather for one of Lanzarote’s most iconic markets. From artisan cheeses and handmade soaps to ceramics, clothing and jewellery, there’s something to catch everyone’s eye — and often a street performance to enjoy along the way.
Teguise’s market is the biggest and best-known on the island. But beyond the stalls, it’s a chance to soak up the atmosphere: colourful stands, music, local aromas and a rhythm that invites you to take your time.
Coastal markets full of charm
- · On Tuesdays, Costa Teguise’s Pueblo Marinero Square hosts a smaller, laid-back market with local produce, crafts and souvenirs — perfect for a casual morning stroll.
- · In Playa Blanca, the Marina Rubicón market runs Wednesdays and Saturdays, offering a stylish mix of art, fashion, food and sea views.
- · On Saturdays, the town of Haría, in the heart of the “valley of a thousand palms”, invites visitors to a quiet, rural-style market with a relaxed, bohemian feel.
Useful tips
- · Take your time — there's no need to rush.
- · Bring some cash — not all stalls accept cards.
- · Talk to the sellers — they often love sharing the stories behind their work.
- · Don’t forget sun protection and water — especially in open-air markets.
