Vegueta Crafts and Culture Street Market
Weekly Sunday market in the historic Vegueta quarter with around 25 artisan stalls. Open 10am to 2pm, selling handmade crafts, leather goods, and local Canarian products.
The Vegueta Crafts and Culture Street Market runs every Sunday from 10am to 2pm in Plaza del Pilar Nuevo, in the heart of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria's historic Vegueta quarter. Around 25 stalls are run by local artisans selling handmade work directly to visitors. All stalls are cash-only, so bring euros before you arrive. Get there by 11am for the best choice before the afternoon crowds pick up.
What you'll find
The market specialises in genuine Canarian crafts: handmade jewellery, leather goods, woven textiles, and clothing sit alongside stalls selling local honey, nuts, and dried fruits. Most vendors make what they sell, so you'll often see craftspeople at work and hear about the techniques behind each piece. Children's activities are sometimes on offer during market hours.

Where to stay in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Staying in the historic Vegueta neighbourhood puts you right on the doorstep of the market, and Vegueta has some charming, characterful options to choose from. You can walk to the market in minutes and explore the old town at your own pace.
If you prefer somewhere a little more central with easy access to the wider city, Triana is just a short stroll away and well connected to everything. The Hotel Madrid Las Palmas is a well-known historic option in that area that puts you close to both the market and the city centre.
