Mogán town council, responsible for several of the main tourist resort areas on the south of Gran Canaria, has stated that the current Alert Level 4 restrictions will require them to temporarily suspend all markets in the municipality. This will also include some of the markets that were open during the Alert Level 3 like the Friday Market, popular with many tourists, held in Playa de Mogán and the Agricultural market in Puerto Rico, which is held every other Sunday.
The current law establishes legal health alert levels and the measures for the control and management of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Canary Islands, in relation with the applicable measures in Alert Level 4, which has led to the town council deciding that it would be easier to keep the markets closed. It is impossible to control the maximum capacity allowed.
Markets suspended during Level 4
– Arguineguín Market, Tuesdays.
– Handicraft market in Playa de Mogán, Mondays.
– Mogán Market, ‘Mercadillo de Mogán’ Fridays.
– Agricultural market in Puerto Rico, every other Sunday.
– Second-hand market in Arguineguin at Plaza Negra held on Saturdays.
– Craft market in the Plaza de Las Marañuelas, which is held on Tuesdays.
