Municipal markets in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
The five municipal markets are where the city does its food shopping. The biggest is the Vegueta Market, around 40 stalls in the historic Vegueta district selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry and Atlantic fish, a short walk from the cathedral and the Columbus House museum.
The Puerto Market is a wrought-iron hall built in 1891 by engineers from Gustave Eiffel's company, with 25 stalls of fishmongers and cheese and dairy counters, plus a food court where freshly prepared seafood is eaten on site. The Altavista, Atlántico and Aroma y Café halls cover the rest between them: butchers, flowers and plants, bread and pastries, coffee and local honey.

The three street markets set up outdoors and each has its own character. The Las Palmas Municipal Flea Market is the largest market of any kind in the city, 400 stalls of clothing, antiques, books and jewellery, and it pulls buyers in from across the island.
