Most people who visit Gran Canaria love to visit local markets so here's our guide to all the regular markets in Mogán, Arguineguín and Puerto Rico.  

Complete guide to Arguineguín markets

The big weekly market in Arguineguín is held every Tuesday from 08.00 to 14.00 in the Plaza Negra and surrounding streets at the east end of the town. It consists of hundreds of stands selling everything from fresh local produce and handicrafts to food, clothes and jewellery. At the same time, there's a craft market in the Plaza de las Marañuelas just behind the marina and the main Las Marañuelas beach in Arguineguín. 

Between October and March, there is also a market in the Ancora Shopping Centre selling clothes, bric-a-brac and local produce. It runs between 08.30 and 14.30. 

On Saturdays, there's a flea market in the Plaza de las Marañuelas behind the marina between 08.30 and 14.30.

Complete guide to Mogán markets

The big Friday market along the harbour wall at Puerto de Mogán runs from 08.30 to 14.30. Most stalls are the same as the Tuesday market in Arguineguín and the Sunday market in San Fernando and sell everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to local crafts.

On Mondays, Puerto de Mogán hosts a local craft market in the plaza behind the beach. 08.30 to 14.30.

Complete guide to Puerto Rico markets

On alternate Sundays, Puerto Rico has a farmer's market in the park area between the big shopping centre and the GC 500 road in the Parque Urbano. It's the same market as you find in San Fernando (around the main market building as of January 2019) on the other Sundays. 

Puerto Rico also hosts a craft market every Monday evening in the same spot between October and March. 17.000 to 22.30.

Anfi del Mar evening market

Anfi hosts a small evening market every day just in front of the restaurants facing the island. It's small, but the stalls sell quality local crafts and jewellery.

    Tip Of The Day: Avoid Bank Card Charges By Paying In Euros

    Save money and avoid rip-off bank charges while in Gran Canaria by paying in euros when using your credit or debit card.

    Many bars and restaurants in Gran Canaria, and in almost all European holiday destinations, give you the option of paying in euros or in your home currency. Opting for your own currency, while it may seem like the safer option, can add as much as 5% to the bill as it triggers dynamic currency conversion. 

    DCC basically means that the exchange rate is calculated at point of sale rather than by your bank. It allows you to see the total cost of the transaction in your own currency but adds up to 5% to the total because it uses a terrible exchange rate. 

    Since the extra money is shared between your bank and the merchant, some places will automatically bill you in your own currency and hope you don't notice. You have the legal right to refuse and void the transaction should this happen. 

    ATMs too

    The same applies when taking money out of ATM machines in Gran Canaria (and anywhere in Europe); Always choose the local currency option to avoid losing money to poor exchange rates.

    If you opt for the local currency option, using bank ATMs is often the cheapest and safest way of getting euros in Gran Canaria. It's far safer than having a big pile of euros hidden in your room or tucked into your shorts.
