Vegueta Crafts and Culture Street Market

The Vegueta Crafts and Culture Street Market runs every Sunday from 10am to 2pm on C. Felipe Massieu Falcón, behind the cathedral in the historic Vegueta quarter of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Around 25 stalls are run by the artisans themselves, selling work they have made. Every stall takes cash only, so bring euros with you. It is one of the street markets in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria that sets up for a morning and packs away.

What you'll find at Vegueta Crafts and Culture Street Market

The 25 stalls cover handmade jewellery, leather goods and footwear, and clothing and woven textiles, with a smaller run of food stalls selling local honey, nuts and dried fruit. Most stallholders make what they sell, so you can usually watch the work being done and ask about the technique behind a piece.

How to get to Vegueta Crafts and Culture Street Market

The market sets up on C. Felipe Massieu Falcón and around Plaza del Pilar Nuevo, directly behind the Cathedral of Santa Ana. Parking in the old quarter is very limited on a Sunday, so walking or arriving by bus works better than driving. Casa de Colón is a couple of minutes from the stalls, which makes the market easy to fold into a morning in the old town.

Where to stay in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Staying in the historic Vegueta neighbourhood puts you a few minutes' walk from the stalls, among the old town's characterful small hotels. Triana is a short stroll away and better connected to the rest of the city, and the Hotel Madrid Las Palmas sits between the two, close to both the market and the city centre.
