Where to stay in Sta Brígida
Sta Brígida is a small inland town in Gran Canaria's green highlands, and most visitors base themselves in Town Centre to keep things simple, since the markets and local shops are easy to reach on foot from there. The area has a relaxed, residential feel that suits a short stay well.
If you prefer more comfort or a wider choice of accommodation, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is only around 20 minutes away by car and connects easily to Sta Brígida by bus, making it a practical base for day trips up to the markets.

Street markets in Sta Brígida
The Santa Brígida Street Market is the larger of the two, with 25 stalls stocking fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, local honey, nuts and dried fruits, and organic produce. It runs weekly outdoors, making it the main stop for anyone after locally grown or organic goods in the area.
The Santa Brígida Craft Fair runs on a separate weekly schedule and focuses on handmade and artisan products. Stalls cover handicrafts, jewellery, footwear, and bread and pastries, making it a good complement to the produce market if you want to browse both on the same trip. Nearby, Teror hosts one of Gran Canaria's most visited Sunday markets if you want to extend your market itinerary across the island.
