Mercadillo de Haría
A craft market on Plaza León y Castillo in Haría, in the north of Lanzarote, held under the big shade trees that fill the square. Just over twenty stalls sell island-made craft work: embroidery, jewellery, hats, crochet, bow ties and leather wallets, along with local produce such as cheeses, breads, sweets, fruit and vegetables, aloe vera, wines, liqueurs and mojo sauces. Live music is usually part of it.
Haría sits in the northern valley of Lanzarote known for its palm trees, and its Plaza León y Castillo, shaded and lined with bars and restaurants, hosts the town craft market. A little over twenty stalls spread out under the trees, with live music and an unhurried mood that makes people linger over a coffee once they have finished buying.
The makers who sell here hold the Artesanía de Lanzarote seal, marked with a hand, so what lies on the tables is made on the island rather than imported. Alongside embroidery, crochet, leather and jewellery there are food stalls with cheeses, breads, sweets, mojo sauces, wines and liqueurs, and at least one grower bringing vegetables straight from his own plot.

Inside you find stalls of fruit and vegetables, fish landed on the nearby coast, butchers, cheesemongers and counters of Canarian honey and mojo sauces, alongside food bars run by young local traders. A recent refurbishment modernised the building without erasing its old recova character.
