Commercial areas

For shopping, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has a wide and varied offer of shopping areas distributed throughout the city. The most traditional and important are the Triana shopping area and the Mesa y López shopping area.

In Triana Street and its surroundings are concentrated the big fashion and accessories firms, jewelry and perfume stores; also in the commercial area of Mesa y López, where you can also shop in the department stores located on the avenue that runs along it. Nearby, in the commercial areas of Santa Catalina and Puerto-Canteras, we can still find stores dedicated to electronics, photography and perfumery. Also in the lower part of the city is the Guanarteme-El Pilar shopping area.

In the upper part of the capital of Gran Canaria there are three commercial areas: Schamann-Pedro Infinito, with traditional stores distributed throughout this populous neighborhood, Siete Palmas, with shopping centers and a large business area, and Tamaraceite.

The terraces, always crowded, and the restaurants allow you to take a break and enjoy the local gastronomy and from all corners of the world. And to complete the experience, some shopping areas offer open-air leisure activities for everyone.

In addition, every first Sunday of the month, the commercial area of Triana and Vegueta celebrates a leisure and commercial opening day, which includes a program of activities for the whole family.
