Come Saturday morning, the square beside San Ginés church turns over to around a hundred stalls, and the pace is exactly what you'd want from a market in the island capital. Expect Lanzarote crafts, plenty of local farm produce, and the kind of unhurried browsing where nobody's hustling you for a sale. Folk music and the odd cultural performance drift through while you poke about, so it doubles as a decent excuse to sit with a coffee and watch.

Entry's free, and it runs from roughly 9am to 2pm. If you can't make the weekend, the same traders set up midweek on Wednesdays and Thursdays over at Charco de San Ginés, the photogenic little lagoon a short walk away. Either spot is a gentle way to shop the way locals actually do.
