Mercadillo de Santa Brígida
Santa Brígida's farmers' and craft market fills the Paseo del Guiniguada, right in the old centre of the Villa. It was set up in the mid-1980s on a council initiative, so that growers from the area could sell their own harvest directly. Around thirty stalls cover fruit and vegetables, bread and traditional pastries, island cheeses, wines and Canarian products, flowers and handmade crafts.
Santa Brígida's municipal market sets up along the Paseo del Guiniguada in the old centre of the Villa. It was created in the mid-1980s with a simple idea: give the municipality's growers a place of their own to sell their harvest without middlemen. That is the logic of the Canarian mercadillo del agricultor, where the person who grows the produce runs the stall. Santa Brígida sits in the mid-altitude belt of Gran Canaria, with a fertile valley floor and a microclimate you can taste in the produce.
The site covers around 1,440 square metres and gathers roughly thirty stalls: fruit and vegetables, bread and traditional pastries, cheeses made on the island, wines and Canarian products, florists and craftwork. There is a children's play area, level access for wheelchairs and its own parking, and bus lines 302 and 303 stop nearby. The municipality also carries a long pottery tradition tied to the La Atalaya neighbourhood, and its cheeses and wines are recognised well beyond the island.
