In Playa del Cura itself, there aren’t large weekly markets, but you can find nearby areas with local markets that offer fresh produce, artisan goods, and local specialties. Here are some of the most popular local markets in the area:

  1. Mogán Market
    1. Location: Mogan Village (about a 15-minute drive from Playa del Cura)
    2. Schedule: Every Friday
    3. Description: One of the most famous markets on the island, Mogán Market offers a wide variety of goods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, local cheeses, meats, handmade crafts, clothing, and souvenirs. The market is held in a charming village and is a great way to experience the local culture while enjoying a stroll through the narrow streets.
    4. Tip: It's a popular market, so it can get busy, but it's worth visiting for its authentic local vibe.
  2. Puerto de Mogán Market
    1. Location: Puerto de Mogán (about 20 minutes by car from Playa del Cura)
    2. Schedule: Every Friday
    3. Description: Known for its picturesque setting by the marina, Puerto de Mogán Market is a smaller, more relaxed market compared to Mogán’s. Here, you'll find local products, fresh fish, fruits, vegetables, clothing, and handmade items. It’s perfect for those looking for a quieter, less crowded market experience.

    3. Description: A larger market located in the heart of San Fernando, it offers a wide range of products, including fresh produce, meat, fish, clothing, and home goods. The market has both a food section and a more general goods section, making it a great spot for a true local shopping experience.
    4. Tip: It’s a good place to find fresh fish and local specialties at great prices.

These markets offer a more authentic experience and allow visitors to sample local food, shop for unique handicrafts, and interact with local vendors.
