Street Markets in Puerto Calero

The stalls here lean towards craft and browsing rather than the week's shopping. Across the market you'll find handicrafts, jewellery, clothing and textiles, and antiques, which is the mix you would expect at a marina market drawing from the yachts and the nearby resorts rather than from a farming hinterland. There is no fresh produce section worth planning around, so treat this as somewhere to pick up a gift or a linen shirt rather than a place to buy the ingredients for dinner. For a wider spread across the island's market types, see all markets in this city or the rest of the province page.

Come before 11am on either trading day. The market opens at 9.30am and traders start breaking down well before the 2pm close, so a late arrival finds half-empty tables and the sun at its hardest. Bring cash, since card acceptance varies from one stall to the next at a market this size. Puerto Calero is compact enough to reach on foot from anywhere in the resort, and the marina car park is the sensible drop-off if you are driving in from elsewhere on Lanzarote.

Staying in the resort itself means you can walk to the market in a few minutes and get there for the 9.30am opening without moving a car. Hotels and apartments around Puerto Calero Marina put you alongside the stalls and the harbour restaurants. If you want a wider choice of places and don't mind a ten-minute drive on the Tuesday and Friday mornings, Puerto del Carmen is the nearest larger resort and covers a broader range of prices.
