Artisan Markets in Betancuria is a weekly open-air market held in the historic square of Betancuria, Fuerteventura’s former capital. Local craftspeople sell handmade pottery, leather goods, woven palm items, and traditional Canarian cheeses. The market operates on Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:00, set against the village’s stone architecture and quiet streets.

- Sample and buy fresh goat cheese from nearby farms, including the island’s protected majorero variety
- Find handmade knives with carved wooden handles, a traditional craft of the island
- Suitable for families and slow-paced visitors; the market is flat, compact, and walkable in under an hour
