Markets in Valsequillo
Las Palmas, Canary Islands
Valsequillo markets are both outdoor street affairs held weekly in this highland town in eastern Gran Canaria, around 500 metres above sea level. The area is known for its strawberries, potatoes and corn, and you'll find that reflected in what's on sale at both markets. There are no municipal markets here, but the two street markets cover fresh fruit, vegetables, prepared foods and handicrafts.

The Valsequillo Strawberry, Potato and Corn Fair is the more distinctive of the two markets, celebrating the agricultural produce the town is best known for across Las Palmas province. Stalls sell fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and prepared foods, making it a practical stop as well as a local event. The number of stalls varies, but it runs weekly outdoors.
The Valsequillo Weekly Market is the larger of the two, with 22 stalls selling fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and handicrafts. It also runs weekly and is held outdoors. If you're planning a broader market trip around the area, Telde has additional options a short drive away. The Valsequillo town council publishes updates on local market events.
