Oasis Wildlife Market (La Lajita)
📅 Sunday – 09:00 to 13:00 | 📍 La Lajita (Next to the Oasis Wildlife park | Map Location Link
The Oasis Wildlife market is one of the most complete and authentic in the south. If we had to choose just one, this would be it. Unlike other tourist-heavy markets, here you will find vegetables, fresh fruit from local producers, artisan breads, cheeses, ‘mojos’, oils, organic products, and real artisans. Perhaps even some live music.
We love it because it has that blend of local life and traveler vibe that ensures you always discover something new. Plus, it’s ideal if you are planning a family trip or a full-day route through the south of Fuerteventura.
CotiArte Market (El Cotillo)
📅 Friday – 17:00 to 21:00 | Map Location Link
Artisan market, crafts made on the island, and live music in the main square of El Cotillo.
Lajares Artisan Market
📅 Saturdays – 10:00 to 14:00 |📍 Lajares | Map Location Link
The Lajares Market is the cultural heart of the north of Fuerteventura. Here you will see real craftsmanship: ceramics, handmade jewelry, local illustrators, textiles, live music, and a relaxed atmosphere full of artists, families, and travelers.
It’s ideal if you are heading from Corralejo to El Cotillo, or going to see the volcanoes. Stopping by Lajares for a coffee, browsing the stalls, and then continuing to El Cotillo is perfect. It is the market with the most personality on the island and one of the most highly recommended if you want to experience the authentic essence of Fuerteventura.
