The Venice Of The Canaries...

Puerto Mogan Gran Canaria is a pretty and upmarket fishing settlement on the southwest coast of the island, in the municipality of Mogán. In fact, the ‘one’ village of Puerto Mogan actually comprises of two: Puerto de Mogan and Playa Mogán, a signal of just how many treats are potentially in store here for the more intrepid and demanding traveller. The former is the seaside resort built on land reclaimed for the sea; while the latter is the pre-harbour historic settlement characterised by a mazy assortment of fisherman’s huts and old houses intertwined with a path spiralling up the cliff. Both have their charms. Visit the floral wonders of the “Venice of the Canaries”, a pedestrian development resplendent with archways and little two-storey apartments which link the marina with the fishing harbour. Those more smitten by a spot of retail therapy can take a 200m stroll from the beach into the rapidly growing shopping centre. There is also a thriving quayside market every Friday, providing a heaving atmosphere of opportunity for determined bargain and souvenir hunters.

Restaurants, Live Music And All That Jazz...

Eating and drinking can involve the serving of locally caught fish and various English, Chinese, French and Italian specialities. Entertainment junkies can head to the bars and restaurants offering live music, or even time their visit to the bandstand in the plaza for the start of one of the regular jazz weeks, for a real buzz.Pick from a range of Hotels in Puerto Mogan, from Luxury to half or full board and bed and breakfast accommodation options.
