Mercado de Vegueta
An old-town food market opened in 1863, selling tropical fruit, Canarian cheese and spices, with snacks at weekend night events.
The Vegueta Market is the oldest market in Las Palmas. Its stalls sell papaya, mango, prickly pear, local goat cheese, mojo sauce and groceries, where you can sample traditional Canarian foods. In recent years some stalls have become snack bars, and there are food events on weekend evenings. The market is closed on Sundays. Located on the edge of the Vegueta old town, it can be visited on foot together with the cathedral and Casa de Colón.
