Our webcam ist viewing Puerto de Mogan, a picturesque resort and fishing village, set at the mouth of a steep-sided valley on the southwest coast of the island Gran Canaria It attracts many tourists either to stay or on day-visits. Canal-like channels linking the marina to the fishing harbour have led to it being nicknamed "Little Venice" or the "Venice of the Canaries". Restaurants and bars fringe the marina and the beach front. Some boat-trips, like the Bussard or the Yellow Submarine are starting from Puerto de Mogan. On a Friday there is a very popular market which brings in tourists from all over the island. Puerto de Mogan can be reached by means of a coastal road (GC-500), and is on several bus routes. The harbour is linked to Puerto Rico and Arguineguin by minor ferry routes. There is a small enclosed beach which has golden sand imported from the Sahara.
