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.

Really sad images that immigration gives us almost every day. :( ...

Worse than immigration

Friday, September 7th, 2007
If the immigration for itself, wasn't hard enough, as people give up all their savings for just an opportunity to make it alive to a 1st world country, to try for a better life, risking their lives and normaly resulting in an almost certain repatriation, things like this unluckily happen more often every time. The tragedy happened yesterday at daybreak when a 'patera', those small, unstable boats, subsaharian immigrants use to get here from Africa, arrived at the 'risco verde' beach in Agüimes at darkness, or at least that is what the occupants thought. What really happened is that they docked to an underwater rock formation, 20 meters off shore, which the immigrants thought to be the beach, but which in reality was surrounded by 2 meters(6 feet) of water, causing 10 of the 16 immigrants to drown.
