Puerto Mogán
This picturesque fishing port, although not very well known, is dedicated to tourism but in a different way than the other bustling beach resorts like Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas. The waterfront, a purpose built holiday resort, has buildings not higher than two to three floors and was expanded into a traffic-free village with colourful houses designed in Mediterranean style. These houses give way to narrow alleys, all of them prettily lined with small gardens and window boxes planted with flowers, mostly bougainvilleas, in all colours.
Puerto de Mogán also boasts a net of pretty sea-water channels – from which this port also holds its epithet ‘Spanish little Venice’ – linking with promenades and small bridges, making a stroll around this port very pleasant.
The attractive yacht marina with its neat and tidy restaurants, stylish cafés, restaurants, jazz and piano bars surrounding the local fishing fleet, which is still operating, is the perfect location for an evening stroll and of course – a romantic sunset dinner.
Puerto de Mogán is also ideal for a day out, especially on a Friday morning when a huge and very attractive market is occupying the fishermen’s quay. At the east of the port there is a small, well-protected sandy beach – ideal if you have children holidaying with you.
Other attractions are a yellow submarine offering visitors trips to the underwater world off shore, small replicas of old sailing ships taking passengers to the beaches of Puerto Rico and Maspalomas and deep-sea fishing boats offering you the opportunity of making the catch of your life with world record size tunas or marlins. This port is the venue for the renowned ‘Blue Marlin angling competition' in July every year!
Puerto de Mógan is definitely one of our favourites!
