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.
