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

Amusement park “Aqualand”

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008
Originally there were two amusement parks focussing on water fun at Gran Canaria: the so called “AquaSur” as well as the “Ocean Park”. The last one was located at mid Maspalomas, but it is out of order nowadays. The “Aquasur” finally turned into “Aqualand” in the course of the years and makes the largest leisure park of the isle by now. Covering a surface area of about 90.000 square metres this theme park aims at offering a great amount of water- based attractions such as for example more than 30 water slides. There is a certain area addressing at children which also contains a great variety of the park’s mascot, the “Aqualand”- ape.

Surfing, a possibility to practice this great sport in your holiday

Friday, August 1st, 2008
The best place for surfing on Gran Canaria I can recommend is Castillo del Romeral, placed on Gran Canaria's east coast. About three kilometers from the center of Castillo del Romeral you just have to follow the path in southern direction to get to this surfers paradise. Surfer You will be suprised! Alltough this place is not that far away from Playa Ingles, it is not that touristy. Near the rocky beach along the surfing spot you can find a nice little lake with lots of birds and little fishes. And if you should become hungry by surfing, take a look at all these tiny seafood restaurant along the coast or just ask one of the locals where you could get something special to eat.
