Get to Know the Market
A little background
he origins of the Vegueta Artisans and Culture Street Market date back to the final decades of the 19th century, when farmers and artisans from the region would travel to the town of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to trade and sell their goods. As in so many other municipalities in Las Palmas, street vending emerged in tandem with the agricultural calendar and livestock fairs, establishing itself over the generations as one of the town’s most important social and economic gatherings.
With the arrival of the 20th century and the economic transformation of rural areas, the weekly market in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria gradually evolved: it gave way to large textile and footwear stalls, incorporated vendors from other provinces, and became professionalized under municipal regulations. Many of today’s vendors are third- or fourth-generation members of families that have been attending this event for decades, maintaining a direct link to the city’s commercial fabric.
Today, the Vegueta Artesanos y Culture Street Market retains that down-to-earth essence while adapting to new trends: organic products, contemporary crafts, local cuisine, and a close relationship with consumers that large shopping centers cannot offer. The city government and the vendors’ association collaborate to preserve its traditional character in the heart of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
