Markets in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Markets in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria range from historic food halls in the old town to a Sunday crafts market in the shadow of the cathedral. The capital of Gran Canaria has a strong market tradition, with several indoor markets open six days a week selling fresh fish, local cheeses, and tropical fruit grown across the island.

The most distinctive is the Puerto Market, a wrought-iron hall built in 1891 by engineers from Gustave Eiffel's company. Today its 25 stalls mix traditional fishmongers with a food court where you can eat freshly prepared seafood. In the historic Vegueta district, the Vegueta Market is the city's oldest, with around 40 stalls selling fresh produce, meat, and Atlantic fish.

For a neighbourhood market experience, Altavista Market in the residential streets south of Mesa y López is well regarded for its butchers and flower stalls. You can find more information about the city on the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria official tourism site.
