Discovering Gran
Canaria markets
Gran Canaria is a fabulous enclave that allows to
discover how fascinating is the spanish culture. In addition to its wonderful
beaches, villages and monuments, there is also the aspect related to the
shopping, that belongs to our lifestyle.
For
this reason, in Canarian
Transfer
we propose a couple of wonderful excursions to discover Gran Canaria markets.
San Mateo and Teror market
We
will start the visit near Teror, going through Tamaraceite.
There we will discover the famous pine wooden balconies and the basilica de
Nuestra Señora de la Virgen del Pino. She is the patroness of Gran Canaria, and
this temple is declared as site with cultural interest.
Then
we will reach San Mateo, where will discover one of the most popular market of
the island: San Mateo market. It is on during the weekend and specially
on Sundays there is a lot of people.
The big pro vs other markets in Gran Canaria, it is that
most of the stands are under the roof. This makes the visit easier during hot
days or in case of cold, wind, rain…
San
Mateo market attracts a lot of visitors also for its big variety of local
fruits and vegetables. Buying fruit of the season is a guarantee of eating it
at the perfect maturation status and taste.
In
addition to the canarian cheese, honey, dried fruit, herbs, jams, flowers and
other local products, San Mateo
market offers also not so common food such as the indian tuno .
Unknown
to most of the visitors, the indian tuno
is considered a superfood. It provides more potassium than dates or bananas, ando
also vitamins of K and E group and a wide variety of minerals.
If
you want to buy something, remember to bring with you cash because most of the
stands don’t accept credit cards.
Puerto Mogán market
Without
the need to leave the south of the island, we offer the chance to visit the Mercadillo de Puerto Mogán.
Puerto
Mogán is one among the most popular urbanizations of Gran Canaria, for its
beauty and its buildings. In this perfect enclave on Fridays there is the
Puerto de Mogan Market.
Streets
become full of stands with every kind of products. Clothes, fruits, vegetables,
cheese, typical desserts of the islands, and stands of craftsmen.
Enjoy
