Puerto Mogan - Tourist information & resort guide
LocationOn the south west coast of Gran Canaria , one of the Canary Islands, Spain.
Description of Puerto MoganPuerto Mogan is a picturesque fishing port. It appears to be undiscovered by the UK package holiday industry. This changes in 1966 summer season when Thomson holidays offer Puerto Mogan as a destination. It has a sea water inlet with bridges and is know as "Little Venice" In total contrast to lively Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas, the picturesque town of Puerto Mogan is ideal for those seeking peace and quiet. Set at the tip of the Mogan Valley, on the foot of a rocky outcrop looking out to sea, Puerto Mogan is based around a pretty yacht-filled marina. The old town is a cluster of quaint, typically Mediterranean houses and whitewashed cottages, which climb up a steep hillside.
The main resort also has a village-like appeal with buildings emblazoned with bougainvillea and overhanging geraniums lining the narrow streets. Aptly named ‘Little Venice’, a canal runs through the resort, spanned by a criss cross of enchanting footbridges, while the harbour-front simmers with quay side restaurants and bars.

Beaches
NightlifeWhile Puerto Mogan is home to a host of waterfront bars and a disco, generally speaking it’s a fairly quiet resort. Most evenings are spent enjoying a good meal or a quiet drink out along the quay side as the sun, streaked with red and gold ribbons, drops below the horizon for another day. The selection of bars, includes jazz and piano bars
ShoppingHead down to the marina where you’ll find a host of boutiques and souvenir shops. However, for a day of real retail therapy it’s well worth heading up to Gran Canaria’s capital, Las Palmas, where you’ll find a host of shops and shopping malls selling everything from inexpensive gifts to international haute couture.
MarketThere is a large popular market held on Friday mornings on the fishermen’s quay.
RestaurantsPuerto Mogan’s harbour-front overflows with restaurants, many selling locally caught fish. For a real taste of the Canaries, try ‘morena frita’, fried morena fish served with ‘papas arrugadas’, wrinkly potatoes baked in their skins with salt. Another popular dish is ‘sama frita’, fried pieces of sama drizzled with ‘mojo verde’, a green sauce made from oil, coriander and garlic.
ClimatePuerto Mogan's locations shelters it from the wind giving it excellent average temperatures , with long hours of sunshine giving the vegetation a pseudo tropical look with plenty of cacti growing in gardens and in the wild. Rainfall is infrequent and scarce but can at times be very heavy.
