Description
Enjoy a great Sunday atmosphere in the two most emblematic markets of Gran Canaria: Teror and San Mateo. Discover the local products and the Middle Mountain Region agricultural area.
Crossing the town of Tamaraceite, you will enter into the area called the Middle Mountain Region of Gran Canaria, a vast area that comprises several municipalities located at a height of between 600 to 1,500 meters. An amazing surprise for all visitors for its greenery and crops, this beautiful landscape, very different from the one usually seen to the south of the island, will accompany you for a large part of the day. It is a region with important agricultural and livestock activity. Your destinations are the charming towns of Teror and San Mateo where on Sundays, two traditional markets take place.
Teror:
Teror is a quaint, old town in which you can find the Basilica of Nuestra Sra. del Pino, the patron saint of the Canary islands. Whilst here, you'll also notice the abundance of magnificent stately homes and palaces built in a Canarian style. The Sunday street market is buzzing with a great atmosphere, combining local products with handicrafts, clothing, and souvenirs.
Vega de San Mateo:
Visit Vega de San Mateo, a municipality with a strong agricultural and farming character. On Sundays, you'll get to visit the market full of local gastronomic products, fruits, vegetables, cheese, nuts, and spices. This is a blast of smells and flavors that cannot be missed. You'll also get to experience musical performances and dances.
These two visits, together with the panoramic tour through the fertile Middle Mountain Region fields, make this excursion a gift for your senses.
