How do I get to the Playa Blanca flea market?

The marina of Marina Rubicon, in Playa Blanca, hosts its popular flea market. So much so that even excursions are organized for tourists exclusively dedicated to shopping in this place.

If you decide to hire an excursion of that type, the transfer will be direct from Costa Teguise, Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen or Puerto Calero to this point in the south of Lanzarote.

You can also go on your own, both by rental car and by bus. There are bus lines from all points of the island that take you to Playa Blanca, with several daily frequencies.

Where to park near the Playa Blanca flea market?

In the market held in the port of Marina Rubicon, stalls are placed along the street. If you decide to go on your own and rent a vehicle to visit, you will surely want to park as close as possible.

In that case, do not worry because you can find parking in the surroundings, since it is an area very well located and prepared for the visit of tourists.

Our advice is not to try to enter the marina itself because you will find traffic cuts, people like you looking for a free parking space and too many pedestrians everywhere.

And, if you go early, much better!

Being the most central and tourist area, also in the surroundings you have more than enough options to enjoy a good meal.

Our recommendations? D’vales Bay, Platanera Restaurant, La Casa Roja or Caribe Lanzarote are good places to try the local cuisine in Playa Blanca.
