In addition to festivals and cultural events, Lanzarote is home to a variety of local markets and artisan fairs where visitors can experience the island’s craftsmanship, food, and community spirit.

Teguise Sunday Market

• Historic Market Town: The Teguise Sunday Market is the largest and most popular market on the island. Held in the historic town of Teguise, this market transforms the town’s streets and squares into a bustling hub of activity every Sunday morning.
• Crafts and Local Products: The market offers a wide range of goods, from handmade crafts and jewelry to local produce and gourmet foods. It’s a great place to find unique souvenirs, including Canarian pottery, textiles, and wines.
• Live Entertainment: In addition to shopping, the market features live music and dance performances, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. It’s a social event as much as a shopping opportunity, with locals and tourists mingling in the town’s picturesque plazas.

Insider Tip: Arrive early to avoid the crowds and explore the town of Teguise before the market gets busy. Many of the town’s historic buildings, including the Santa Bárbara Castle, are worth a visit.

Haría Market

• Artisan Craftsmanship: The Haría Market, held every Saturday morning in the charming village of Haría, is a smaller and more intimate market compared to Teguise. It focuses on local craftsmanship, with stalls selling handmade goods such as leatherwork, ceramics, and jewelry.
• Organic and Local Foods: The market also features stalls selling organic produce, local cheeses, and artisanal baked goods. It’s a great place to pick up some fresh ingredients for a picnic or a unique gift to take home.

Insider Tip: Haría is known as the Valley of a Thousand Palms, and the village’s lush surroundings make for a beautiful backdrop to the market. Take some time to explore the village and enjoy a coffee in one of the local cafés after browsing the stalls.
