About this event
Step into the heart of Las Palmas' oldest district at Vegueta Market, a charming municipal market that has been feeding locals since the 19th century. With 40 stalls under a classic iron-and-glass roof, this market is a feast for the senses: piles of tropical fruits, just-caught fish from the Atlantic, and local cheeses. It's less touristy than others, giving you a true taste of island life. Grab a bag of papas arrugadas, sample fresh gofio, or pick up artisan honey. Butchers and fishmongers display their catch with pride – arrive early for the best selection. The market is fully wheelchair accessible, and most vendors accept cards, though cash is handy for small purchases. Open Monday to Saturday mornings (until 14:00 or 14:30). After shopping, wander the cobbled streets of Vegueta, visit the nearby Casa de Colón, or enjoy a coffee at a plaza-side café. Parking can be tricky, so consider taking a bus or taxi to the historic centre. Vegueta Market is not just a place to shop; it's a living piece of Gran Canaria's heritage.
