Teror market

The oldest market in the Canary Islands in north Gran Canaria

Teror town in Gran Canaria is a must-visit any day as it is home to the Virgen del Pino, the island’s patron saint. However, a Sunday visit to this lovely northern hill town is even better as you find the Canary Islands’ oldest market in full swing. With 140 stalls and all the town’s shops also open, you’ll always find what you’re looking for on a market day shopping trip to Teror

Buying handicrafts next to Teror church

As a local pilgrimage site and religious centre lots of Teror’s products are linked to the church’s famous Virgin Mary figurine. The town’s famous spicy sausage, the Chorizo de Teror is also sold everywhere along with a wide range of handicrafts, local fruit and vegetables, cakes and pastries, and modern and traditional clothes. Declared a market town in 1932, Teror caters to everybody and it would almost be a miracle if you didn’t have a good time and find a great souvenir to buy.
