Lajares is a charming village in the north of Fuerteventura, known for its lively atmosphere and its artisan market, the Mercado Artesanal de Lajares.

The village attracts many artists and craftspeople, whose work can be admired and purchased in the local shops and at the weekly market. The Mercado Artesanal takes place every Saturday and offers both locals and visitors handmade products and handicrafts. The market square itself is also frequently used for cultural events that enrich the lively village life.

Lajares also offers a good selection of cafés, restaurants and bars where you can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere with a cup of coffee or a culinary speciality.

The town is also an ideal starting point for hiking and cycling tours that lead to the surrounding volcanoes, such as Calderón Hondo, from whose summit you can enjoy an impressive view of the island.

A visit to Lajares can also be easily combined with a trip to El Cotillo or Corralejo. Thanks to its central location in the north, not far from popular surf spots such as El Cotillo and Majanicho, Lajares is an attractive meeting point for surfers who appreciate the village's central location and can quickly reach the best waves in the region from here.
