The Spanish Costas department has committed to removing all obstacles to the refurbishment of the Arguineguín to Patalavaca seafront promenade, according to local mayor Onalia Bueno.

The project to create a decent walkway along this stretch of coast has been snarled up for decades as anything done right by the sea in Gran Canaria needs the approval of the Madrid-run Costas department; A government organisation that isn't exactly famous for quick, dynamic decisions. 

However, local pressure from the Ayuntamiento de Mogán plus the obvious need for a quality promenade has pushed things forward. The Spanish government has committed €500,000 to the first phase of the works and the Gran Canaria authorities another €300,000.

Mogan's plan is to refurbish the promenade in sections as funds become available. The total cost of modernising the entire 2.5km promenade is estimated at 11 million euros.

The first section to be done up will be Costa Alegre; La Lajilla pool is to be drained and improved to protect it from strong waves that come in with south swells.

  • 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.
