My delightful trip to Gran Canaria

Saturday, August 20th, 2011
The Canary Islands are one of the 17 Spanish Autonomous Communities. They are located in the Atlantic Ocean west of the Moroccan coast. Gran Canaria was the first of the Canary Islands which I visited a few years ago together with a friend. We had our hotel in Playa del Inglés, a location full of tourists from all over the world. There we enjoyed relaxing in the sandy beach, and after the sun had gone down we spent some time in pubs like Turbo (very cool for fans of rock music) in the nights. However, a Gran Canaria vacation does not mean that you have to go to the beach every day. I would recommend every tourist to see as many sights as possible. One day we took a taxi to the Palmitos Park, a botanical garden in the southern part of the island. There we saw many different ...

If you like it hot, but not too hot, the Costa Mogan is the place for you - the summer daytime temperature in the resorts of Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogan and Patalavaca on the south-west coast of Gran Canaria is normally in the high twenties to mid-thirties (that's °C not °F!), usually with a refreshing sea-breeze. Winter temperatures are only a few degrees lower. And it's the same in Taurito, Playa del Cura and Arguineguin too.
See what the weather is like now in Puerto-de Mogan. According to some, the Costa Moganhas the best climate in the world!

There's a wide range of accommodation ranging from luxury air-conditioned apartments in Puerto Mogan with a swimming pool to economical self-catering apartments in Puerto Rico or perhaps you'd

Puerto de Mogán, a marvellous place to visit

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008
If you want to get away from the tourist centers, one of the best places to visit is the lovely fishing village Puerto de Mogán. It is beautifully situated on the southwest of the island and has retained much of its original charm. You wont find rambling hotel complexes here, as the government has forbidden any new buildings which are over two storeys tall. You will find a much cozier ambiance than in lots of similar villages. Puerto de Mogán boasts a very nice fishing harbor which is connected to the lively marina through a number of canals.
That also earned the village its nickname - "Venice of the Canaries". Along the marina you can find a multitude of restaurants and inviting bars, which are a popular stopover for yachts on their way to cross the atlantic. Fridays are especially lively with a weekly ...
