Puerto de Mogán plans to ban cars from the marina and the Playa de Mogán area behind the beach.

Visitors will soon have to park just inland of the motorway bridge and get a shuttle down to the coast. The Mogán local authority plans a 400 car parking area just north of the motorway bridge to accommodate all the cars.

The bold plan is a response to the increased traffic and visitor numbers since the new motorway opened in 2013.

The medium-term plan was announced by Mogán mayor Onalia Bueno during the opening of the new 5-Star Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Gran Canaria, Mogan. She stated that the local authorities are well aware that visitor pressure on Mogán is a problem and that they see its future are car-free.

The only people who will still be allowed to drive into town will be residents and workers.

Alex Says: We can't wait for this to happen as Puerto de Mogán would be so much nicer if all its streets were quiet and lined with cafes rather than parked cars.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
