Puerto Mogan is a picturesque, sun-soaked haven on the south west coast of Gran Canaria. It was once a modest fishing harbour, which has retained all of its charm and tradition, whilst offering a chic holiday resort and marina.

The white sandy beach in Puerto Mogan curves around the horseshoe shaped bay. Its small, but so is the town, so the beach is never crowded, and offers the visitor a peaceful day of sunbathing. Hire a sun-lounger or just lay a towel on the golden sand.
The town also offers many shopping
options.
Or for more authentic Canarian goods,
visit the Friday morning Market, whose lace, jewellery and leather goods tempt tourists from all over the island. A new, upmarket shopping centre is also due to open in 2006. Bringing more quality shops to the town.
In the evening the quayside comes alive, with bars and restaurants offering a varied choice of dining. Fresh seafood and tapas must be sampled; the sheer choice of fine menu's being the only problem. Puerto Mogan really is a food lover’s paradise. 
Puerto Mogan sets a more leisurely pace in the evening, but you will have no problem getting a drink in select bars late into the night. There are a number of bars both beach front and harbour front, which cater for most tastes and stay open long enough for a night-cap.
Puerto Mogan is a so-far hidden gem of a town. Visitors return year after year to enjoy a relaxing break, away from hustle and bustle, nightclubs and noise. But beware, once visited, it's a hard act to follow.
