Teguise Market — Local services in Teguise

First visited in Sep 2014 held always on Sunday it was a quaint place that ran from top to bottom of road arriving at the dried up fountain. There 2nd hand sellors bartered their wares My wife who has an art in this managed to negociate a price for one African wooden made statue when the aim of the amiable man was to secure two for the lower price. Also a personal collection of sea shell earings bought from another. We were fortunate to have fitted in to a bloc where a guitar & singer invited passers by last 2 seats latés a wonderful relaxing experience. This Sep Sun Market fully developped over two levels with various set prices on display' my wife bartered down a leather hold all from his original ½ price ⁷⁰ to €55 various artisanal artifacts 2sets of earings a wooden sculptured dog I found a local devil t-shirt a nice coffee bean dark choc & coconut bite with laté. The original bloc was still there with dusty white light bulbs but sadly not open. The two sunsets are from 2014 Matagorka where we...

This market only operates on a Sunday from 08:30-14:00. One of the biggest markets we have ever attended. We got the first local bus from the main terminal in Arracife at 10:00am for a cost of €3.80 per couple, each way. By getting it from the terminal, you get on from the first departure and it does get busy as there are not a lot of buses on a Sunday. The lack of buses is an issue when getting back from the market. We would suggest you either leave at least an hour before the market closes or just wait for as long as possible afterwards. The market itself is a lot of the same as any market but if you walk through the old town, you find local artists and traders who sell handmade jewelry, pottery, art work and food items. Obviously, the aloe vera plant is a Lanzarote staple and there are a lot of leather goods stalls but they're all much the same as each other. Still, we had a lovely day out and travelling by local transport, allows for a low cost island tour through the towns you might not...

A beautiful market with a lot of variety in terms of shops staring from hand made stuff, souvenirs and clothes to counterfeit goods and African hair boutiques.

Inside the market you'll also find different places to eat, including British/American food and Lanzarote traditional dishes. We've tried the Spanish place and I really enjoyed their tapas selection. I was also surprised to see that inside the market we also had live shows and wine tasting experience.

The market it's every Sunday so if you have a chance, don't skip it. The town itself it's also nice and you can walk around.

If you're coming by car, at the entrance in the city you'll be welcomed by a guy offering you carpark (I believe it's 2 euros) but it's far from the city centre where the market is, so quite a bit of distance to walk. My recommendation is to don't park where the guys are telling you to, go a bit further down towards the town and you'll find other parking places around, way closer to the centre...
