San Fernando Agricultural Market

San Fernando Agricultural Market sets up every Sunday from 8am to 2pm in Maspalomas, in the south of Gran Canaria, inside the covered patio of Colegio Marcial Franco next to the Estadio Municipal. Thirty stalls trade there, and the roof over the patio keeps the produce and the whole morning out of the sun. Bring cash: none of the stalls has card payment confirmed.

About San Fernando Agricultural Market

Known in Spanish as Mercado Agrícola de San Fernando de Maspalomas, the market runs weekly and on Sunday only. There is no second trading day, so a Monday to Saturday visit to the patio at Colegio Marcial Franco finds it empty. The 30 stalls work the six hours from 8am to 2pm, which is the whole of the market and not a morning session with an afternoon one behind it.

What you'll find at San Fernando Agricultural Market

Fruit and vegetables from growers on the island are the bulk of the 30 stalls, sold alongside cheese and dairy, and bread and baked goods. Organic produce has its own stalls here, and so do flowers and plants, which is the part of the market worth arriving early for if you want a choice.

How to get to San Fernando Agricultural Market

The market is at the Patio cubierto del Colegio Marcial Franco, junto al Estadio Municipal de Maspalomas, so the stadium is the landmark to aim for rather than the school.

Where to stay in Maspalomas

If you prefer something quieter, Meloneras is a short drive away and has a more relaxed feel, with plenty of dining options after a morning at the market.
