Markets

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has five markets where you can discover and sample local produce, some of which have eateries both inside and in the surrounding area.

The Mercado del Puerto, near Las Canteras beach, is a must-visit destination for discovering Canarian cuisine and dishes from different corners of the globe. At the Mercado Central, in the Mesa y López shopping area, you can have a coffee, enjoy some churros and even have lunch or dinner right inside the market itself.

In the historic centre lies the Mercado de Vegueta, the oldest market in the Canary Islands, with stalls where you can have breakfast or sample the island’s cheeses and wines. You can also savour the island’s produce at the Mercado de Altavista.
