Mercado Domingo (The Sunday Market) — Local services in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

:) Good deals. Clothing, jewelry, shoes, outdoor equipment, sports gear new and used. Prices vary per stall. Depending on what your looking for and a little patience to search you can find really good deals. Various owners will even haggle on prices a little or for package deals. Friendly people. Due to Covid entry / exit is controlled by gates and fencing. Temperatures are checked and number of persons in the market is capped at 675. Police presence as well patrolling and controlling traffic. For the security including heat cameras zero thought was given to where people can go pee or poo. 675 people a closed bathrooms - for maintenance - that were rarely open any other time. This is a public health issue. Money for cameras and police patrols and nothing to fix the plumbing or clean it. Do better Las Palmas. 4 stars for the Market and the Vendors 1 star lost as the city sucks for caring about actual public health issues like clean water, clean and available toilets and showers. You can't just have everything at the beach and forget about the rest of the citys parks and taxpayers health and needs. Toilets especially. Gross to think 675 people won't need a toilet in the 6 or so hours the area is open and for the vendors who will make a 12 hour day for some setting up and...

It was less than what I expected. The "legal" stalls inside were 80% knock offs, imitation and low quality China stuff. Some do actually sell some antiques, some old stuff and memorabilias. The sellers, it seems to me, were mostly immigrants. Some were selling outside, just before you enter that were picked on by the police. Interesting but not a good experience. Have seen better Sunday...

Bit disappointed, the usual stalls all over Europe these days. Nothing local and the flea market sales were things no one would want to buy and I can usually find something! Enjoyed the walk there...
