Street Markets in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Las Palmas, Canary Islands · 3 street markets
Street markets in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria all run on the same day: Sunday. Three of them set up across the city, opening at 9am and closing by 2pm, so the whole scene fits into one morning. The biggest by a wide margin is Las Palmas Municipal Flea Market, at 400 stalls. Nothing trades in the street Monday to Saturday, so on a weekday the municipal markets in this city are the ones to head for instead.

What the stalls sell
Between the three markets you'll find fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, cheese, local honey, nuts and dried fruit, spices and herbs, and organic produce, which is what draws a food crowd to San Lorenzo. The flea market side of the city's Sunday trade covers antiques, second-hand books and magazines, clothing, footwear and leather, and jewellery, while Vegueta leans towards handicrafts.

Tips for visiting
Arrive by 9am when the stalls open, for the pick of the produce and to be done before the midday heat, and bring cash, since the smaller stands often do not take cards. Stallholders start packing up well before the 2pm close. For the indoor halls that trade the rest of the week, see all markets in this city.
Where to stay in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Vegueta and neighbouring Triana are the practical base for market mornings. The Sunday crafts market sets up in Vegueta itself, the walk between the two districts takes minutes, and you can be at a stall by 9am without needing a car. Las Canteras, by the beach, is the other obvious choice, with the old town a short bus or taxi ride away.
