A visit to Puerto De Mogan, Gran Canaria

Having spent the day in the mountains the day prior, I felt it would be nice to have one by the seaside. so Puerto De Mogan fitted the bill nicely.

Puerto De Mogan is on the south west of the island and is a port to many excursions, mainly to see dolphins and whales out in the ocean. Sadly I couldn't get myself booked onto one of those.

So my intention was to go on a submarine to see marine life under the sea, and yes, it was yellow!

But just as per my usual levels of luck this end of year, it was cancelled, I had a call earlier on in the day that I missed and went to my voice mail, which wasn't accessible, so had no idea it was form them, just assumed it was spam!

And it was too late to try see if it was possible to slip onto a glass bottom boat last minute as well. So in the end they let me have my free parking for two hours to make up for things and I went and toured the village instead.

The intention to make it across to the beach and bar area for a look around and relax, or melt since it was very warm.

So from walking from where I parked I was able to enter the main walkway area to such pretty looking buildings.

Where every side view is more pretty buildings and walkways waiting to be explored.

Although it felt very surreal for me finding Christmas trees in such a warm country, being that I'm from a northern country and had just escaped -7c temps and snow!

All may seem peaceful here in this part, but everyone was hiding along at the beach area at this time. Pretty sure this fills up as the afternoon goes along.

And there was no shortage of boats sitting in the harbour either!

Although it can be seen that there was a real effort to make sure everything was bright and colourful for the buildings as this floral delight shows.

Still no shortage of boats here as we make our way around to the harbour masters building.

Honestly when you see one of these in the UK it just doesn't compare, probably find its just a random house or nothing at all in the small fishing villages.

Still from here we can have the view across the water to the private hotels and beaches rather then the public ones.

Or a view eastwards along the coastal rocky landscape of Gran Canaria.

But the aim was to make it to the beach, and this was me very close to it now.

And it was pretty packed as can be seen from both sides. Honestly cant blame them for enjoying it there that day. Still for me I cannot sit still
long and need to explore, so that I did.

So climbing again I went up a massive amount of stairs for a view over Puerto De Mogan.

And I really love the cove like beach area that is here, and also amused by the metal Christmas tree they set up. I wasn't able to see it at night so hopefully it was lit up.

And with one last look over the harbour area, and just to rub it in a bit, the glass bottom boat returns, just as my time was nearly up!

But as we leave, there is just one last view towards the sea and the cove area. For what was an unexpected tour of the village.
