What you'll find
Fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, cheese and organic produce carry the food side of these markets, and the agricultural stalls are where the island-grown goods turn up. The rest is clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, jewellery, flowers and plants, handicrafts, and at the flea market, antiques. Which of those you get depends heavily on the day, so check the timetable above before you set out.

Tips for visiting
Come in the first hour after the 9am opening: the produce is still full and the sun is not yet a problem. Bring cash, since not every stall takes a card, and do not leave it until after lunch, because 2pm is when most of these markets close.
Where to stay in Maspalomas
Playa del Inglés is the base that makes the markets easiest: most of the stalls, and the Sunday markets in particular, are an easy walk or a short bus ride away, which counts when everything finishes at 2pm. The IFA Catarina Hotel is a dependable mid-range pick in the middle of that, while the dunes end of town suits a quieter, more upscale stay. A car is handy rather than necessary for an early start.
Are street markets in Maspalomas free to enter?
