La Recova - Gáldar Market is the town's covered municipal market on Calle Capitán Quesada, with around 25 indoor stalls. Built in 1945, it keeps its original iron entrance gates and the interior murals by Diego Higueras. Stalls sell fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, bread and pastries, and cut flowers. It opens Monday to Saturday from 7:00 to 14:00 and takes cash and contactless payments. There is more detail on the municipal markets page.
Street markets in Gáldar
The Gáldar Weekly Market sets up on Plaza de Santiago every Thursday, 8:00 to 14:00, and with 70 stalls it is the largest market in town. Clothing and footwear take up much of it, alongside fruit, vegetables, flowers, handicrafts and prepared food, so it is the one to pick if you want more than groceries.
