Markets in Valleseco
Las Palmas, Canary Islands
Valleseco's markets are defined by a single standout destination: the Ecovalles Organic Market, the only market in this small mountain town in the interior of Gran Canaria. It operates weekly, selling certified organic produce including fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, local honey, and nuts and dried fruits sourced from the surrounding highlands.

Where to stay in Valleseco
Valleseco is a small rural municipality in the mountains of Gran Canaria, so accommodation options are limited within the town itself. Your best bet is to stay in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria city centre and make the short drive up into the highlands when the market is on.
If you'd prefer somewhere closer to the area, look for rural houses and casas rurales around Vega de San Mateo, which sits nearby and gives you easy access to Valleseco and the surrounding mountain villages.
