2 markets in Morro Jable Verified information

Street markets in Morro Jable run on two afternoons a week rather than in the morning, which catches a lot of visitors out. Both of the town's two street markets keep hours of 17:00 to 21:00, so trading starts once the worst of the heat has gone and finishes after dark. For indoor and daily shopping options, see the full guide to markets in Morro Jable.

One market sets up on Tuesday and one on Thursday, and nothing trades on Monday, Wednesday, Friday or at the weekend. The larger of the two, Morro Jable Street Market, runs around 25 stalls, and between them you'll find fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, clothing, footwear, handicrafts and jewellery.

Choosing between Tuesday and Thursday

With one market on each day, the choice comes down to where you are staying and what else is on rather than to size. Either day gives you the same 17:00 to 21:00 window, and because the stalls trade into the evening, a market visit follows a day on the beach instead of replacing one.

Practical notes

Bring cash. Street stalls across Fuerteventura are inconsistent about card payments, and smaller traders often take notes and coins only. Arrive in the first hour for the pick of the tables. Wear sleeves for later on, because the last hour before the 21:00 close is noticeably cooler than the first, particularly with the wind that runs along this stretch of coast. For markets in other towns across the province, start from the Las Palmas province page.

Where to stay in Morro Jable

Both markets are walkable from the resort strip, so you do not need a car for a 17:00 start. Jandia puts you closest to the stalls and the beach, with most of the town's activity within walking distance. For a hotel base, the Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace is central enough to walk back from a market that finishes after dark.

What days are the street markets in Morro Jable?

Morro Jable's two street markets run on Tuesday and Thursday, one on each day. Nothing sets up on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday, so the town has no weekend street market at all. Both trade from 17:00 to 21:00, which makes them evening markets rather than morning ones.

What time do the street markets in Morro Jable open?

Street markets in Morro Jable open at 17:00 and trade until 21:00, on Tuesday and on Thursday. These are afternoon and evening markets rather than the morning mercadillos found across much of Spain, so arrive in the first hour if you want the pick of the tables before traders sell through their best stock.

How many street markets are there in Morro Jable?

Morro Jable has two street markets, one trading on Tuesday and one on Thursday. The larger of the pair, Morro Jable Street Market, carries around 25 stalls selling fruit, vegetables, cheese, clothing, footwear, handicrafts and jewellery. Both are inside the same town, so a week's stay covers the pair without driving elsewhere on Fuerteventura.

Is there an entry charge for the street markets in Morro Jable?

No, both street markets in Morro Jable are free to walk into, with no ticket or booking for either the Tuesday or the Thursday market. Bring cash, since card acceptance varies from one trader to the next, and expect the tables to be at their fullest in the first hour after the 17:00 start.
