Puerto de Mogan Market - Days, Time and What You Can Buy There

The market in Puerto de Mogan is probably the largest market in the south of Gran Canaria and certainly the busiest. Tourists from all over the island come here for shopping, sightseeing and just relaxing.

Puerto de Mogan Market - Every Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

• Location: top of the parking lot, Plaza de las Gañanías, Explanada del Castillete street

What you'll find at the market in Puerto de Mogan:

• souvenirs
• local food products, vegetables and fruits
• lots of fake label products like watches, bags, perfumes, etc
• clothes and shoes
• Table linen
• Plants and flowers
• Leather goods
• Jewelry

There are lots of stalls and it gets really busy, so it would be better to arrive early.

There are also plenty of bars and cafes around, but they get busy quick so it's hard to find a spot around lunchtime. It seems like people are more interested in having a pint or a coffee, instead of doing some shopping.

Our advice would be to haggle the prices, as with all these types of markets in the Canaries. Also, be alert in regards to pickpockets and keep your purse and electronics where they are hard to reach.

If you want to shop for some gifts to take back home, Puerto Mogan market might be the place for you. Or you could also visit the crafts market in Puerto de Mogan, which takes place on Mondays.
