About Maspalomas Flea Market

This is a flea market rather than a produce market, so the 150 stalls deal in clothing and old things rather than fruit and fish. It is entirely outdoors, laid out along the avenue beside the covered Mercado Municipal building, and it trades once a week only, on Sunday morning. By 2pm the trestle tables are packed away and the avenue is back to normal.

What you'll find at Maspalomas Flea Market

Clothing and textiles take up most of the stalls, much of it pre-owned, sorted into piles and rails you dig through yourself. The rest is antiques and bric-a-brac: old glassware, ornaments, tools, records, jewellery and small furniture. Prices are not fixed, and two neighbouring tables can be selling the same style of shirt at different money, so walk the full length once before buying.

How to get to Maspalomas Flea Market

The market runs along Avenida Alejandro del Castillo, junto al Mercado Municipal, which puts it within a short walk or a very short taxi ride of most of the Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés resort area. Parking around the municipal market fills up early on Sundays. You can also compare it with other street markets in Maspalomas, or with the rest of the province of Las Palmas.

What day is Maspalomas Flea Market?

Maspalomas Flea Market runs every Sunday from 8am to 2pm, and on no other day of the week. The 150 stalls set up along Avenida Alejandro del Castillo next to the Mercado Municipal, and by early afternoon the tables are packed away, so a Sunday morning is the only chance to catch it.

Is the flea market the same as the Mercado Municipal?

No, Maspalomas Flea Market is a separate open-air market that sets up on Avenida Alejandro del Castillo beside the Mercado Municipal building rather than inside it. The rastro is 150 stalls of second-hand clothing, textiles and antiques, and it trades on Sunday mornings only, from 8am to 2pm.

Do I need cash at Maspalomas Flea Market?

Yes, bring cash to Maspalomas Flea Market, since the stalls do not take card payments. There are 150 of them trading along Avenida Alejandro del Castillo on Sunday mornings, and rastro prices are not fixed, so small notes and coins also make it easier to settle on a figure for a jacket or a piece of glassware.
