Gluten-free bakery. Very good bread and desserts, although the prices are a bit high. They haven’t a large availability of merchandise on display, so if you want to buy more things should call ahead or go the day before to order what you want.
The frozen yogurt is gluten-free and also almost all the toppings, just ask the staff which ones you can eat.
The toppings are good, yogurt is little tasteless and with a not very creamy texture, but not bad.

As in the rest of Spain, all McDonald’s offer a good selection of gluten-free food.

Restaurant on the top floor of the shopping center El Corte Inglés, in a beautiful main street of Las Palmas. They have a gluten-free menu with a dozen dishes, also in their supermarket (as in all El Corte Inglés supermarkets in Spain) you can find a good selection of gluten-free products.
Address: Calle Juan Manuel Durán González, 37 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
You can find gluten-free products in almost all supermarkets. The following are the ones where I have been and where there is a large selection of products:
Al Campo – Telde
Carrefour in the shopping mall Atlantico – Vecindario
Eroski in the shopping mall El Mirador – Las Palmas
This supermarket has also a machine to cut the cured meats, dedicated to gluten-free products.
Hiperdino – Ingenio
In the Hiperdino supermarkets of all Spain, all product without gluten (fruit juices, yogurt, sauces, etc.), have a black label with white writing (products containing gluten have the white label). It’s very easy to recognize them at first sight, but as always it’s important to read well the ingredients on the label of each product.
Gluten-free products are also in all Mercadona supermarkets of the island.
Here further posts on supermarkets and shops where to find gluten-free products:
If you have been to Gran Canaria and you have tried other gluten-free places or have suggestions on those already entered, report it in the comments or email us: we’ll update the article with your suggestion.
This article will be periodically updated with the addition of facilities we will personally test for you!

Thanks so much. This is the first time since I am aware of my illness, I am going far from home and I am so relieved to hear Spain is doing good at offering gluten free food. I am not in a hotel but in an apartment Playa del Ingles so we can cook our own meals but it would be fun to be able to go out for a bite and I love my bread in the mornings so thanks for this great article.
Thanks to you for your kind comment I’m so happy to know that my posts are useful. Enjoy your holiday!
