Markets in La Lajita
Las Palmas, Canary Islands
La Lajita's markets are built around two weekly outdoor events on Fuerteventura's southern coast. The oasis market Fuerteventura visitors search for is the Oasis Wildlife Street Market, a 25-stall outdoor market selling jewellery, footwear, spices and fresh fruit and vegetables. Alongside it, the Agricultural Market of La Lajita offers a more locally focused selection of fresh produce, cheese, dairy, bread and handicrafts.

Where to stay in La Lajita
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.

Street markets in La Lajita
The Oasis Wildlife Street Market is the larger of the two, with around 25 stalls set up outdoors on a weekly basis. Stalls cover jewellery, footwear, spices and herbs alongside fresh fruit and vegetables, making it a practical stop whether you are after a souvenir or ingredients for a home-cooked meal. The market's location at the entrance to Oasis Wildlife Park means parking is easy and it pairs well with a visit to the park itself.
The Agricultural Market of La Lajita runs weekly and focuses on food and local crafts. Stall numbers are not fixed, but the market reliably carries fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese and dairy products, bread and pastries, and handmade handicrafts. It is a good option for picking up organic produce and locally made goods directly from small producers. Both markets in La Lajita fall under the wider Las Palmas network of island markets, and the nearby resort of Morro Jable also holds regular street markets if you want to combine visits on the same trip south.
