Altavista Market

Altavista Market operates Monday through Saturday from 7am to 2pm on Calle Juan Ramón Jiménez in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. This municipal market serves the local Juan Ramón Jiménez neighbourhood as a daily food shopping destination.

The market houses individual vendor stalls specialising in fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and flowers. Unlike the larger tourist-oriented markets in central Las Palmas, Altavista caters primarily to residents doing their weekly grocery shopping.

Arriving before 9am gives you access to the best selection of fresh fish and produce. Local shoppers typically complete their market visits by mid-morning, making early hours ideal for serious food buyers.

The market accepts both cash and modern payment methods including contactless and mobile payments. Prices reflect its role as a neighbourhood market rather than a tourist destination, making it competitive with local shops.

Staying in Triana or Ciudad Jardín puts you close to the Altavista Market and gives you easy access to the rest of the city. Both areas have good transport links and plenty of places to eat after your market visit.

If you'd prefer a hotel, Hotel Santa Catalina is a well-known option with a central location that works well as a base for exploring the city's markets and neighbourhoods.

Altavista Market is located at Calle Juan Ramón Jiménez, 45 in the residential Juan Ramón Jiménez neighbourhood. Local bus routes serve this area of Las Palmas, though you'll need to check current schedules with the municipal transport authority.

The market building has wheelchair-accessible entrances for visitors with mobility needs. The surrounding residential streets offer a quieter shopping environment compared to the city centre markets.
