EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Market Square, or Plaza del Mercado, in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, circa 1910. The image transports us to a bustling era of open-air trade and vibrant community life. The cobblestone square, framed by the historic buildings that surround it, is filled with people going about their daily business. The architecture showcases a unique blend of European and Canarian influences, with ornate wrought-iron balconies, colorful facades, and red-tiled rooftops. The road leading to the square is lined with horse-drawn carts and pedestrians, adding to the sense of activity and movement. The market stalls, set up along the edges of the square, are brimming with fresh produce, textiles, and other local wares. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, as locals and visitors alike engage in lively negotiations and exchange goods. The Market Square has been a central hub of Las Palmas since its founding in the late 15th century. It has played an essential role in the city's economic and social fabric, serving as a gathering place for traders, artisans, and residents. Today, it remains a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Canary Islands.
