Hotels in Puerto de Mogán

Puerto de Mogán

Puerto de Mogán is a harbour town in the municipality of Mogán, on the south-west coast of Gran Canaria. Known as "little Venice", it was rebuilt between 1983 and 1988 to plans by the artist Rafael Neville, with canals, footbridges and low white houses covered in bougainvillea. The marina and fishing port have 246 berths and are the starting point for boat trips, sport fishing and the yellow submarine tours. The small beach of fine sand is protected by a breakwater, making it ideal for swimming, kayaking and paddle surfing. Every Friday morning the harbour hosts a large market with around 500 stalls along the Explanada del Castillete and Avenida de Los Marrero. The Lomo de los Gatos archaeological site preserves the remains of an aboriginal settlement above the town. In July the Fiestas del Carmen end here with a colourful sea procession of boats from Arguineguín. The GC-1 motorway reaches the town at exit 68, and the airport is about 45 km away, roughly 30–45 minutes by car. Global buses connect Puerto de Mogán with Las Palmas, Playa del Inglés and Telde. Puerto de Mogán suits couples and families who want a picturesque harbour, a calm beach and a relaxed atmosphere away from the large resorts.
