Markets in Vecindario
6 markets tracked in Vecindario.
Vecindario has six markets on record, all of them inside the town itself, on the south-east coast of Gran Canaria. Five are street markets and one is a municipal market, which makes this a place where most of the shopping happens on trestle tables in the open air rather than under a permanent roof.
Trading is spread thinly across the week rather than concentrated. One market runs on Monday, one on Wednesday and one on Saturday, and three of the six have no confirmed day on record. The usual hours are 08:30 to 13:30, an early start and an early finish that is standard across Gran Canaria.

Where to stay in Vecindario
Vecindario is a working town rather than a resort, so accommodation is practical. Staying in the town centre puts you within walking distance of the market pitches and the local shops.
For more choice, Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés are a short drive south and have far more hotels across all budgets.
