Puerto de Mogan is a picturesque fishing village, at the south-west coast of
Gran Canaria. It was designed and developed as resort between 1983 and 1988
around the small harbour of Mogan, at the foot of steeply rising mountains.
There are only houses with up to two storeys, to keep the original charm. It
is a pleasure, to walk under arches with luxuriantly blooming bougainvillea in
all colours, that span the lovely alleys with their small, white-washed houses
and colored window and door frames - an enchanting sight! Beyond that a few canals run through the
town, so that after all the charming town got the nickname “Venice of the
Canaries”.
The resort of Puerto de Mogan has a wide, fine, golden beach
and many nice restaurants and numerous bautiful yachts lie at anchor in the
marina. The place is touristy fully developed with
regular bus and ship connections. Also a wide range of excursions is offered,
including even submarine. You can save the "Whale Watching" tour, when you
are going to take the ferry to Puerto Rico. Then you'll have this pleasure as well...
