Friday 13 July 2012, MOGAN MARKET 08:00 - 14:00 Every Friday in Puerto de Mogan (not the village) there’s a very, very touristy market. Very little here is aimed at local residents so it’s one of the least interesting markets on the island but set in one of the nicest locations. Mogan is the little venice of the south, canal waterways, streets lined with bouganvilla, lots of fishing boats bringing in the catch for the local restaurants. The driver there will be a bit hectic along mountain top roads until the motorway extension opens at the end of 2012. There’s a frequent bus service and you can even catch a water-taxi from Puerto Rico.
Canary Islands Jazz Festival Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Plaza de Santa Ana 19:30h. FREE Tana Santana Project, Milles Smiles, feat Wallace Roney, Joey De Francesco, Robben Ford, Darryl Jones, Omar Hakim y Rick Margitza, Gretchen Parlato, Renegade Creation feat Robben Ford, Michael Landau, Jimmy Haslip y Gary Novak
Saturday 14 July 2012, SAN FERNANDO MARKET 08:00 - 14:00 Indoor and outdoor market (and quite a big one) on the border between San Fernando and Maspalomas (next to the fire station). Something for everyone as a lot of locals go here for local produce but there’s also a lot of interesting stalls for tourists (loads of stalls specializing in Aloe Vera products for some reason here) and again, as it’s in the south you can haggle as many stall owners will try and get as much as they can in the beginning. Holiday World is a ten minute walk away and there’s a bus stop there and Faro (lighthouse) stop is about 4 euros in a taxi so you can combine a day on the beach/dunes) with the market.
ROMERÍA DE SANTIAGO DE LOS CABALLEROS 19:00 - 23:30 Romería de Santiago de Los Caballeros in Galdar on the north coast of the island. Another of the smaller Romerías in the historic quarter and church square of the town. As with all romerías on the island, expect almost everyone dressed in traditional, Canarian costume, folkelore music, singing and dancing and a procession of decorated carts, usually drawn by oxen which take offerings for the saint to the church.
ROMERÍA EN HONOR A NUESTRA SEÑORA DEL CARMEN 19:00 - 23:30
08:00 - 14:00 Car-boot-sale-market in the car park at Faro 2 shopping centre, one of the first second hand markets here on the island and now a flourishing weekly event with many, many bargains to be found.
TEROR MARKET - EVERY SUNDAY 08:00 - 15:00 Artesian market selling a lot of traditional produce, stalls selling clothes, household items, the usual touristy stalls but probably one of the better markets on the island if you want to see something local. Teror the town itself is a spectacular place to visit, especially the church on a Sunday with its services. You can catch an excursion up there which spends half the morning here and the other half in the nearby San Mateo market. Driving of course is an option (motorway about 85% of the way with the last part windy roads) otherwise catch the express bus service to San Telmo station in Las Palmas and change for the Teror service there.
Thursday 19 July 2012 SLEEPING BEAUTY - BALLET 20:30 - 23:00 The Moscow Ballet returns with Sleeping Beauty. With the best Russian soloists, including Cristina and Alexei Terentiev.
