Puerto de Mogan is a picturesque resort on the exotic island of Gran Canaria. Many people call this city "Canary Venice". After all, here, by analogy with the Italian city, many canals, a fishing harbor and a port are built.
Some 40 years ago, Puerto de Mogan was a run-down fishing village on the outskirts of the island, to which not only no road led, but in general nobody cared.
However, in the 80s of the last century, the settlement turned into a real resort oasis, with colorful houses immersed in greenery and flowers, picturesque canals and excellent tourist infrastructure.
The construction of the new resort was carried out according to the projects of the talented artist and architect Rafael Neville, the author of the famous port in Sardinia.
Today Puerto de Mogan is a labyrinth of picturesque streets, romantic views and a beautiful beach surrounded by palm trees and rocks. It is noteworthy that such palms that grow in this town cannot be found anywhere else in the Canary Islands. This is because the trees were brought to Puerto de Mogan from Cuba.
Many travelers visit Mogan for the weekend. However, those who love fishing and romantic landscapes stay here longer. Be that as it may, the abundance of hotels and hotels, as well as excellent weather conditions contribute to a comfortable holiday by the sea all year round.
As already mentioned, in addition to beautiful streets, Mogan also has a beautiful beach. Rocks protect the area from strong winds and bad weather, and warm currents provide a comfortable sea temperature. The average annual water temperature in the coastal strip reaches 18 degrees Celsius. And the absence of strong waves allows you to swim comfortably at any age.
There are sun loungers and umbrellas rental shops on the beach, as well as diving and surfing equipment. Other activities include boat trips along the coast of Gran Canaria, parasailing or yachting.
The port of Mogana provides marinas for luxury yachts and cruise ships that pair wonderfully with modest fishing vessels. You can endlessly contemplate and photograph this location with pleasure. Each time of the day is accompanied by a wide variety of views and atmospheres.
In the evening, you should definitely visit one of the local restaurants. It serves delicious freshly caught seafood and famous Spanish wine.
