The views from here into the gorge are jaw-dropping! And you get to see what life was like on the island back in the past before outsiders came through to change things. Great for the kids too!

Wonderful place, a declared site of architectural and historic importance, we loved the local blue stone on the buildings and the amazing Iglesia de San Juan Bautista. If you want to see the real GC then head here!

My friends and I embarked on a tour of gran canaria and Puerto mogan surprised me the most. Dubbed little venice due to canal-like channels between some of the buildings and its lack of cars in the pedestrianised centre. It's a charming village with beautiful flowers and the marina is just the place to be at night. Definitely worth a visit!

on the south-west facing coast of the island, follow the road from mogan itself to the shore

My friends and I had a great afternoon here before we flew home. The whole traditional vibe was really cool, the place was gorgeous and the folklore show was great! I picked up some awesome souvenirs too as well as ate some great local dishes for a tasty treat before aeroplane food!
