Mogan

Mogán straddles the Barranco de Mogán in the mountainous interior of southwestern Gran Canaria, and that setting has made it the administrative centre of a municipality reaching from upland ravines to the Atlantic coast. Away from the island’s main resort strips, the town is framed by dry slopes, palm groves and terraces shaped by the south-west’s demanding terrain. Its compact centre retains low, whitewashed houses and balconies associated with traditional Canarian settlement, while agriculture and connections with coastal communities remain part of local life. The surrounding barrancos reveal a markedly drier face of Gran Canaria than its north. See how Mogán belongs to Gran Canaria’s south-west by browsing webcams nearby.
