The Market Department of the Teror Town Hall adds half a dozen new mobile businesses in Plaza de Sintes, offering artisanal, gluten-free products and local brands.
The municipal market of Teror, one of the commercial references in the north of Gran Canaria, will incorporate six new sales stalls this Sunday. The expansion, driven by the Market Department, aims to diversify the offering and attract both locals and tourists who visit the historic centre of the town each week.
The new businesses will be located in Plaza de Sintes, one of the busiest areas of the venue. According to the Teror Town Hall, the stalls will offer clothing from local brands, graphic arts, gluten-free and sugar-free bakery and pastry, accessories, perfumery, cosmetics, salts, and textiles. The selection has prioritised artisanal products and creative manufactures, aiming to complement the existing offer.
The councillor responsible for the area, Manuel Farías, explained that the incorporation responds to a public call for licenses that the City Council conducts periodically. “We want the market to remain a dynamic space where visitors always find something new and of quality,” the councillor stated.
With this measure, the total number of stalls exceeds fifty, consolidating the Teror Market as one of the most important on the island. The venue, which opens from 9:00 to 15:00, has combined iconic local products —such as Teror chorizo, artisanal cheeses, potato bread, or traditional pastries— with an increasingly varied offer for years.
The expansion not only benefits the entrepreneurs who obtain a new license but also enriches the shopping experience. Visitors will have access to novel items that were previously unavailable, such as bakery adapted for people with intolerances or natural cosmetics. Furthermore, the presence of local brands reinforces the market's local character.
The Town Hall highlights that the initiative supports entrepreneurship and local commerce while promoting shopping tourism in the historic centre of Teror. The surroundings of the Basilica of El Pino, with its heritage value, add an additional attraction for visitors.
The call for licenses has been carried out following criteria of transparency and fairness, according to municipal sources. The new licensees join the historic stalls that are already part of the market, creating a diverse commercial ecosystem.
For the residents of Teror and nearby municipalities, the expansion represents an opportunity to find unique products without having to travel to the capital. The market has become a weekly event for many families, who combine shopping with a stroll through the streets of the old town.
The Town Hall anticipates that the influx of visitors will increase with the arrival of the new stalls, especially during high season weekends. Therefore, it recommends arriving early to enjoy the entire offer comfortably.
The next event will be this Sunday, from 9:00 to 15:00, in Plaza de Sintes and surrounding areas. Entry is free, and access is available both on foot and by vehicle, although the City Council recommends public transport due to parking limitations in the historic centre.
