Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria

Puerto Rico is a specially constructed holiday resort situated on the south-west coast of Gran Canaria. The island's proximity to the African continent ensures an ideal climate, particularly in the winter, when the temperatures remain constant at around 20-25°C. The volcanic origins of Gran Canaria are very apparent in the island's coastal ruggedness and contrasting verdant interior.

Located at 27.7881, -15.7111 (Lat. / Lng.), about 3 miles away.

Puerto de Mogán

Puerto de Mogán is a picturesque resort and fishing village in the municipality of Mogán, set at the mouth of a steep-sided valley on the southwest coast of the island of Gran Canaria and attracts many tourists either to stay or on day-visits. Canals 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.

Located at 27.8178, -15.7658 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.
