Puerto de Mogán
Puerto de Mogán is a picturesque fishing village and popular marina in the municipality of Mogán, set at the mouth of a steep-sided valley on the south-west coast of the island of Gran Canaria.
Canals linking the marina to the fishing harbour have led to it being nicknamed "Little Venice" or the "Venice of the Canaries". Its beach has a good reputation. Restaurants and bars fringe the marina and the beach front.
On Fridays there is a very popular market which brings in tourists from all over the island.
Puerto de Mogán has very few buildings over two storeys high and the government of Gran Canaria restricts new buildings taller than this.
Access
Puerto de Mogán can be reached via an extension of the motorway GC1 which terminates just to the north of the village, and is reachable via several bus routes.Heritage sites
