Mercadillo de Teguise

Lanzarote


First launched in the 1980s with just 16 artisan vendors, Teguise's enormous, very touristed Sunday-morning market carpets the old town, with flamenco on the church plaza, an infectious buzz in the bars and restaurants and hundreds of stalls flogging everything from wood-carved masks, cheap clothes and cosmetics made from island aloe to locally produced cheese, wine, fruit and veg.
