3 markets tracked in Galdar.
Gáldar has three markets, and they split cleanly: one covered municipal hall trading six days a week, and two outdoor markets on Plaza de Santiago. The mercado de Gáldar most people mean is La Recova, the 1945 hall on Calle Capitán Quesada, but Thursday and Sunday each bring a street market to the square as well.
Gáldar is small, so the historic centre is the practical base: Town Centre leaves you a few minutes' walk from Plaza de Santiago on market day. If you want more choice or a coastal feel, Agaete is a short drive away and still makes day trips to Gáldar simple.
