2 markets tracked in Playa Honda.
Playa Honda has two markets, one indoor and one outdoor, in a town that sits five minutes from Lanzarote Airport in the Las Palmas province of the Canary Islands. Between them they cover fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, bread, organic produce, prepared foods, handicrafts and jewellery. Both keep the same hours, 9:00 to 14:00, and Saturday is the one day of the week you can visit both.

Playa Honda is a small residential town, so the nearby resort area of Puerto del Carmen gives you the most accommodation at the widest range of prices while still leaving both markets a short drive away. If you prefer something quieter, Playa Honda town centre has a handful of apartments and smaller guesthouses within walking distance of Calle Babor.

The Playa Honda Agricultural and Artisan Market is the larger of the two, with 43 stalls and the wider product range: fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, and organic produce alongside the fruit and vegetable stalls. Handicrafts and jewellery make up the artisan half, so it is the better of the town's two street markets if you want something locally made rather than a week's shopping.
If you are planning a broader market trip across the island, the Teguise Sunday market is one of the largest in the Canary Islands and sits roughly 20 minutes north, and Arrecife is a short drive the other way. The San Bartolomé municipality tourism page lists local events that sometimes coincide with market days.

Playa Honda has two markets: the Mercado 4 África Branch, an indoor municipal market on Calle Babor, and the 43-stall Playa Honda Agricultural and Artisan Market, which trades outdoors. One is a daily food hall for local shopping, the other a weekly market mixing produce with handicrafts and jewellery.
Saturday is the day both of Playa Honda's markets trade, which makes it the only morning you can visit the indoor Mercado 4 África Branch and the 43-stall agricultural and artisan market on the same trip. Monday to Friday, the municipal market is the town's only option.
Playa Honda's markets open at 9:00 and close at 14:00, so they are a morning errand rather than an afternoon one. The indoor Mercado 4 África Branch keeps those hours Monday to Saturday, and the agricultural and artisan market's 43 stalls run to the same close.
No, neither of Playa Honda's two markets trades on a Sunday. For a Sunday market on Lanzarote you would head to Teguise, about 20 minutes north, which runs one of the largest markets in the Canary Islands. Elsewhere in the province, see Las Palmas.
Both of Playa Honda's markets sell fresh fruit and vegetables, so there is a produce stall in the town six mornings a week. The indoor Mercado 4 África Branch on Calle Babor stocks them Monday to Saturday from 9:00 to 14:00, and the 43-stall agricultural and artisan market adds organic produce alongside its fruit and vegetable stalls.
