The Beaches of Gran Canaria

The main beaches are located along the southern part of the island, between Arguiniguin and  Puerto De Mogán, which are the sunniest and driest parts of the island. The mountains of the interior act as a barrier against the clouds that come from the North, and the island of Tenerife is the barrier to the South, with the result that the skies in the South remain clear practically all year round, which makes it possible to enjoy the sun and bathe in the sea in summer as well as winter. Each beach is linked to a tourist area, where you will either find all the comforts of a urban centre or the peacefulness of a small village, including the possibility to practice sports in the most wonderful natural surroundings while enjoying the best standard of service. Take a plunge in the Atlantic. Wonderful beaches await you, winter or summer. Few places in the world have more hours of sunshine in the year.

New Hotel For Playa Mogan

NEW 900 BED APARTHOTEL IN PUERTO DE MOGAN .

Building is due to start soon and all will be up and running in approximately two years from now.

It will go from over the road from the new shopping centre/Hyperdino and go the full length right down the valley to the football ground at the end.
It will be finished about the same time as the new motorway into Puerto de Mogan will be open.
My how busy it will be here then, just what the shopping centre needs more tourists. Maybe then the 4 new nightclubs underneath the shopping centre will get going providing entertainment for the younger folks to enjoy here, all underground so they don’t disturb in the early hours of the morning all the folks who like peace here.

But for approximately two years it will be building works all over again here.
Best for folkes to book there holidays here,near the beach or in the port , Or in El Cercado in the valley ( a little hamlet where there are 3 bed brand new house you can book for holidays)El Cercado is just past the petrol station amongst the fruit fincas of the valley.
For the next two years. You can then still enjoy all that Puerto de Mogan has to offer in peace.

Property prices will go up here as the new motorway gets finished, it will then only be approx 10 minutes drive to the Golf at Tauro , or to join up on the rest of the motorway going north. No more hairy scary long winding mountain road then at all. To get into Puerto de mogan. So much easier then for folks wishing to come to the very popular Friday market here.
