Valleseco Organic Market - Ecovalles
Gran Canaria's first certified ecological market, open Friday to Sunday with organic produce, artisan bread, and a café.
EcoValles, the Valleseco Organic Market, is the first certified ecological market in the Canary Islands. Located in the mountain village of Valleseco in Gran Canaria's interior, this indoor market runs on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 9:00 to 17:00. Around 10 stalls sell certified organic products grown in the surrounding highlands. Both cash and cards are accepted.
What you'll find
The market focuses entirely on certified organic goods. Two stalls carry fresh fruit and vegetables from registered local farms, while others stock honey, nuts, dried fruits, artisan cheese, eggs, and meats from ecological farms across Gran Canaria. You'll also find a bakery with fresh bread and pastries, plus a cafeteria serving meals made with ingredients from the market itself.

Where to stay in Valleseco
Valleseco is a small mountain village, so accommodation options are limited locally. Your best bet is to look for rural houses or agriturismos in Las Cumbres, the highland interior of Gran Canaria, which puts you close to the market and the scenic surroundings.
If you prefer more choice, staying in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria city centre gives you plenty of hotels at different price points, and the drive up to Valleseco takes around 40 minutes through the mountains.
