Shopping
There are four types of shopping on Gran Canaria: souvenir shopping, strolling on the main street, wandering through shopping centres, and bargaining at the local market. Whatever your heart desires, you can find it on the island. The highest concentration of shops catering to tourists is in the four-storey Yumbo Centre in Maspalomas, with more than 200 stores selling everything from castanets to cigarettes. In the capital, the long pedestrian street Calle Mayor de Triana is your destination for main street city shopping. To find consumer goods, household items, and fashion accessories under one roof, head to one of the many shopping centres like La Ballena just outside Las Palmas, or Las Arenas near Las Canteras beach. Alternatively, you can try the famous department store El Corte Inglés on Avenida Mesa y López, Las Palmas. On a smaller scale, purchases can be made at one of the many markets scattered over the island. One of the largest is Mercadillo de Vecindario held every Wednesday in the main square of Vecindario. Also, check out the weekend market in Vega de San Mateo for art, crafts, and locally produced food.
