About
When in Fuerteventura, Mercadillo Market is the local business that trades from C. Bentejuy, 8, 35625 Morro Jable, Las Palmas, on the southern edge of the island. The market opens its doors in Morro Jable, a town that sits close to Costa Calma and the southern resort strip. Shoppers visiting the south of Fuerteventura will find it at the address above.
A rating of 3.7 out of 5 has been left by 711 reviewers, which places Mercadillo Market among the more reviewed local businesses on the island. The market draws both residents and holidaymakers, and its position in Morro Jable means it is reachable from Costa Calma and the other southern towns without crossing the whole island. Corralejo, Caleta de Fuste, El Cotillo, Puerto del Rosario, La Oliva and Lajares lie further north, so a trip here suits those staying in the south. The business operates as a market rather than a shop, with trading concentrated on two days of the week.
Opening hours run on Tuesday and Saturday from 09:00 to 14:00, giving a morning window on each of those days. Five photographs accompany the listing, so the address remains the practical reference point for finding the stalls. The market sits in Morro Jable, within easy reach of the southern resorts.
Fuerteventura belongs to the Canary Islands, where a mild subtropical climate keeps the weather warm and sunny through most of the year and summer, from June to September, is the hottest and busiest stretch. Canarian cooking leans on fresh seafood, goat cheese and papas arrugadas served with mojo sauce, and market stalls often reflect that local produce. Scheduled air services run between the Canaries and mainland Spain throughout the year, and inter-island hops by ferry or plane make moving between them straightforward. Spanish is the everyday language, so a few words of it help with routine exchanges at the stalls.
