Weekly Saturday market at Plaza de las Palmeras in Arrecife with around 30 stalls selling clothing, footwear and jewellery, open from 9am.
Arrecife Saturday market sets up every Saturday at Plaza de las Palmeras in the centre of Arrecife, Lanzarote's capital. Around 30 stalls trade from 9am, selling clothing, footwear and leather goods, jewellery and accessories. Come early, as stalls start packing away before midday.
It is a compact market built around fashion and accessories rather than fresh produce, and the stalls take cash, contactless cards and mobile payments.
What you'll find at Arrecife Saturday market
The stalls concentrate on clothing and textiles, with leather shoes, bags and belts alongside them, plus jewellery. There are no produce pitches here, so for fruit, vegetables and fish look to Arrecife's municipal markets instead. The market is open air and wheelchair accessible, laid out across the square rather than inside a hall.

Where to stay in Arrecife
