The development of Tauro beach by local firm Santana Cazorla took a step forward this week after Spain's Costas department gave it permission to create a 180 metres artificial beach.

Santana Cazorla, part owners of nearby timeshare resort Anfi del Mar, plan to build a series of hotels at Tauro along with beachfront parks, restaurants and facilities. Geting permission to create the beach from Costas is a big step forward for the company.

The new sandy beach will be 100 metres longer than the current stone beach pictured above and 30 metres wider; Plenty of room for the sunbed concessions.

Sand for the new artificial beach is expected to be imported from the Bahamas rather than dredged from Gran Canaria's offshore deposits. This gets around the environmental protests that prevented Amadores beach from getting as much sand as the experts recommended (now you know why the rocks poker through the sand at the west end of Amadores beach).

  • 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.
