You've Arrived in Mogán: Here's What To Do First

Get to know Puerto Mogán with a stroll around the marina Get to know Puerto Mogán with a stroll around the marina

So you've arrived in Puerto Mogán checked in, located the hotel bar and now you want to go out and explore the resort. We've got good news: You've picked a gorgeous spot and it's easy to get to know.

 

Just head out and walk through the pedestrian zone to the sea, then either turn left for the beach or right for the marina.

Puerto Mogán is divided into three little areas:

The beach area is the newest and has the cheapest bars and restaurants, the banks and ATMs and the Spar supermarket (the cheapest in town). The highlight is the golden beach itself and the row of bars and restaurants next to it. Walk to the far end of the beach for views of the Mogán cliffs (this is a great snorkelling spot too).

To get to the marina area, walk back along the beach and over one of the bridges. The marina and all the famous colourful houses, bougainvillea arches and canals is right there. There's nothing to do except wander, look at the boats and the fish and pick a place for your first meal. If you feel like really stretching your legs, walk through the boatyard and all the way to the end of the harbour wall. The bar at the end has great views of the whole of Puerto Mogán.

The village area of Puerto Mogán clings to the steep hillside just behind the marina. It's a higgledy piggledy maze of steep lanes and white houses with a viewpoint at the top (tricky to find but worth the search). 

For the cheapest supplies head to the Spar supermarket on the beach side of the canal. Just follow the canal back and you can't miss it.

As for things to do in Mogán, there's the Yellow Submarine, a handicraft market on Mondays, a huge Friday street market and several boat trips leaving from the marina. Bus links to other resorts are frequent but the little ferries are much more fun.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
