2 markets tracked in La Lajita.
La Lajita's market scene is a Sunday morning affair. Both of the village's markets are outdoor street markets, both set up weekly on Fuerteventura's southern coast, and both open at 9am. There is no covered municipal market here, so a Sunday visit is the only way to catch either of them.
La Lajita is a small coastal village, so your best bet is staying somewhere along the southern Fuerteventura coast and driving in. Costa Calma is a good base, just a short drive away, with plenty of accommodation options close to the beach.
If you want to stay even closer, look for rentals or small hotels around La Lajita village centre itself, which puts you right on the doorstep of any local market activity. It's a quiet spot, so booking ahead is always a smart move.

The larger of the two is the La Lajita Sunday Market, known locally as Mercadillo Oasis Wildlife, with around 25 stalls on Calle Zoológico at the Oasis Wildlife park. It runs from 9am to about 1pm and covers jewellery, footwear and leather, spices and herbs alongside fresh fruit and vegetables. There is parking on site and the ground is wheelchair accessible, and stalls take cash and mobile payments.
The Agricultural Market of La Lajita trades the same morning on the Carretera General Jandía, running an hour later to 2pm. It is the food-first of the pair: fresh produce, cheese and dairy, bread and pastries, organic goods and handmade crafts, sold direct by small producers. Both sit within the wider Las Palmas network. The nearby resort of Morro Jable also holds regular street markets if you want to combine visits on the same trip south.

Markets in La Lajita open at 9am on Sunday. The La Lajita Sunday Market runs to about 1pm and the Agricultural Market of La Lajita to 2pm, so arriving by 11am leaves time for both. They stand a few minutes apart within the village, which makes one morning enough to cover the pair.
La Lajita has two markets, both of them outdoor street markets trading on Sunday. The larger is the La Lajita Sunday Market with around 25 stalls; the Agricultural Market of La Lajita does not publish a stall count. The village has no covered municipal market, so these two are the whole of its market week.
Stalls in La Lajita sell fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese and dairy, bread and pastries, organic produce, spices and herbs, jewellery, footwear and handicrafts. The Sunday market at Oasis Wildlife leans towards jewellery, leather and souvenirs, while the agricultural market is where the produce, cheese and bakery stalls are.
