Puerto Del Mogan Holidays

There is a reason why most refer to some parts of Puerto Del Mogan as “Little Venice”. The flowers which line the streets in one part of the neighbourhood are not only aesthetically pleasing but it rivals any tourist area in Italy. In addition there are other parts of the island where there are channels and quayside eateries that would make you wonder for a second if you are indeed in Venice.

Puerto Del Mogan is located north of Playa del Cura in Gran Canaria and it is one of the more beautiful resorts that exists here. Puerto del Mogan has stayed true to its tradition as a fishing village, a feature that continues to attract old and new visitors. The weather in Puerto Del Mogan never gets up more than the mid 20s during the summer and it stays around the low 20s by the time winter rolls around. Either way you are never too hot and sticky when you are here; the coolness of the nearby ocean breeze will make sure that you feel otherwise.

Years ago, Puerto Del Mogan was the type of village where it wasn’t unusual to see several houses huddled together leading to narrow passageways. Back then the fishermen had their huts located on the beach. Fast forward to today and Puerto Del Mogan is an island that you would want to visit. The lovely beaches with the imported Sahara golden sands only serves to whet your appetite for what else is in store here.

The beaches here are great for snorkeling; it is also ideal for canoeing and lounging as well. More water themed activities can be enjoyed here as there are quite a few diving and sailing courses that are available to you. Love adventure? Then see Puerto Del Mogan from a whole new perspective as you take a submarine ride.

Yachting is also popular here and there are actually some yachties who journeyed to Puerto Del Mogan for only a visit and have found themselves staying over for an extended time. Puerto Del Mogan is within mere minutes from other resorts like Puerto Rico and Playa del Cura.

These two resorts also offer great attractions and scenic views. For nature adventure you would have to visit other parts of Gran Canaria where you can witness a wind-whipped sand dune formation at Maspalomas and you can take a camel ride to do so. Explore the great Gran Canaria on a jeep safari ride to Mount Tejeda where the beauty of Alpine forests can be seen and the beauty of the reservoirs as well.

Snow is not uncommon in the mountains during the winter time so it is likely that you would leave warm sunshine behind on the ground and ascend to the mountains where you would encounter snow. With that said it would be in your best interest to take along something warm to wear when you make that ascension.
