Lanzarote and Fuerteventura markets: which one is open which day
If you are on Lanzarote today, Sunday 8 November, you have three markets to choose from: in the old town of Teguise you will find one of the most important markets in the Canary Islands, in Mancha Blanca the Tinajo farmers' market, and in Uga the municipal market. Fuerteventura is quieter on a Sunday; there, the market at this time is in Costa Calma.
Markets are fewer on the two eastern islands than on Tenerife or Gran Canaria, and the weekend is where the action is. On Saturday, head for Haría, Arrecife, Uga and Puerto del Rosario; on Sunday, for Teguise, Mancha Blanca, Uga and Costa Calma. During the week, the stallholders mostly set up in the resorts.
We have already done the same for the other two big islands: Farmers' markets in Tenerife: which day each one opens and Gran Canaria markets: which day each one opens. In the Tenerife article we also explained the difference between a farmers' market, a flea market and a market hall, and what to keep in mind when you go. Here we only cover the days on the two eastern islands.
We deliberately do not give exact opening hours, only whether it is worth going in the morning or the afternoon. For several markets the sources disagree, and times can also change on public holidays. Before you set off, check the town's own page; on Lanzarote, the island's tourism portal, and on Fuerteventura, the Visit Fuerteventura market list.

For Monday and Thursday we found no regular market on either island confirmed by a recent official source, and none on Fridays in winter either.
Lanzarote on Sunday: Teguise, Mancha Blanca, Uga
Teguise. One of the most important markets in the Canary Islands sets up in the old town of Teguise every Sunday morning. It started in 1985 with about twenty stalls on the Plaza de los Leones, and today several hundred traders take part: local crafts, food, clothing, organic produce, unusual objects and gifts. When it is best to arrive, and what else to see in the village, we covered in our article on what to see in Lanzarote. The market's listing.
Mancha Blanca, Tinajo. The Mercado Agrícola y Artesanal (farmers' and craft market) has opened on Sunday mornings since 2006, next to the Los Dolores church. The stalls reflect the municipality's traditional trades: produce from farmers and livestock keepers, fish and seafood, and home baking. According to the Tinajo town council's page, on the last Sundays of the month there are activities linked to local traditions, and the market also hosts demonstrations: threshing, grape harvesting and treading, tafeña (roasting maize) and gofio making. The market's listing. We have a separate article on the fiesta around the church and the island craft fair held next to it: Virgen de los Dolores, Mancha Blanca.
Uga, Yaiza. The municipal market (Mercado Municipal) is open on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and not in the open air: the stalls are inside a building. The Yaiza town council describes its range as zero kilometre produce: fruit, vegetables, cheese, meat, bread, sweets, jam, herbal teas and crafts. The market's listing.
Lanzarote on Saturday and during the week: Haría, Arrecife, Costa Teguise
Haría. The northern village holds its market on Saturday mornings on its main square, the Plaza León y Castillo. Crafts and farm produce are on offer. The market has been running since 2001, and it celebrated its 25th anniversary in June 2026: the tasting featured cheese, pastries and organic, zero kilometre fruit and vegetables. The market's listing.
Arrecife. In the capital, on Saturday mornings, farmers and fruit and vegetable growers set up on the Plaza de Las Palmas, next to the San Ginés church. The square has been renovated: in spring 2025 the stalls moved nearby for a while because of the works, which were finished in November 2025. One word of warning: in early 2026 the growers themselves complained that during festivities they are regularly moved off their usual spot. If there is a festival in the town centre, you will have to look for the stalls somewhere else.
Costa Teguise. During the week on Lanzarote, the Tuesday farmers' market in Costa Teguise is the one a recent official page confirms. It sets up on the Pueblo Marinero square in the morning, and according to the island's tourism portal the stalls offer organic fruit and vegetables, honey and homemade jam, local cheese and wine, homemade pastries and liqueurs. So if you are staying in Costa Teguise, you do not have to give up part of your weekend for the market.
The craft market at the port of Arrecife, which used to set up around the Charco de San Ginés when ships came in, is not running at the moment, according to the tourism portal. If you read about it in an older guidebook, do not plan your day around it.
Fuerteventura on Saturday: the Puerto del Rosario farmers' market
Fuerteventura's farmers' market is in the capital. The Mercado Agrario de la Biosfera (Biosphere farmers' market) is open every Saturday morning at the Puerto del Rosario bus station (estación de guaguas), and the island's farmers and livestock keepers bring in their own produce. According to Visit Fuerteventura, you will find fruit, vegetables, cheese, meat, fish, honey, olive oil, wine and other homemade products. A good sign that it is still going strong: in June 2026, on a Saturday, it hosted the official launch of the 11th Ruta del Queso (cheese route). The market's listing.
If you only go to one market on Fuerteventura, make it this one, on a Saturday morning. We wrote about the island's other sights here: What to see in Fuerteventura.
In Fuerteventura's resorts: Caleta de Fuste and Costa Calma
These are not farmers' markets but general markets, where alongside local produce you will also find clothes, jewellery and gifts.
Caleta de Fuste, Antigua. The market runs on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, and has been going for more than twenty years. The Antigua town council confirmed in November 2025 that it is staying. The traders come from more than thirty nationalities, so the range is just as varied. In summer, from June to September, there is also a separate Friday evening market on the Plaza de El Castillo, but it does not run in winter.
Costa Calma, Pájara. The market runs on Wednesday and Sunday mornings. In April 2025 it moved to the El Palmeral promenade, so if an older description gives a different location, it no longer applies. Local produce, crafts and general goods are on sale. You can read about the move on the Pájara town council's page.
What to check before you go
In La Oliva, the Mercado de las Tradiciones (market of traditions) used to run in the Casa del Coronel building, according to the tourism site on Tuesdays, Fridays and the first Saturday of the month. In September 2025 the Cabildo finished renovating the building and handed it over to the town council so that it could reopen soon. We found no recent official confirmation of the days it opens today, so ask before you travel there.
In Arrecife, the Saturday stalls may move off the square during festivities.
Corralejo, Morro Jable, Lajares, Playa Blanca, Puerto Calero and Puerto del Carmen markets appear with days in many places, but we could not confirm from a recent official source which days they run. That is why we have not listed them. If you are in the area, the town's page or your accommodation can give you an up-to-date answer.
Once a year: the islands' craft fairs
Besides the weekly markets, both islands have one big craft fair a year. Fuerteventura's is held in Antigua: in May 2026 it took place for the 37th time, with 200 artisans and 25,000 visitors. The Antigua town council publishes the next date. Lanzarote's island craft fair sets up in Mancha Blanca during the Los Dolores fiesta, which we wrote about in the fiesta article mentioned above.
Getting there
For the village markets, Mancha Blanca, Uga and Haría, a car is the easiest option. If you want to go without one, we wrote about getting around by bus here: The Canary Islands without a car. If you are visiting both islands on one trip, read about car hire and the ferry in this article: Car hire with no deposit and ferries between the Canary Islands. You will find more markets on both islands among our listings: Lanzarote markets and Fuerteventura markets.
