We just adored Mogán, a very pretty place! Lovely beach and a short walk to the lovely marina, restaurants galore, flower adorned walkways and quite a few shops. All in all a wonderful place to be!

What a wonderful day out in the mountains, driving around the winding roads, going higher and higher. The colours on the rocks are spectacular, having being left by the minerals deposited so so long ago........a most interesting display. The weather was fine when we set off and were able to stop for photos, but later, the mist came down over the mountain tops, making a wonderful and dramatic picture. Noticed water running down the gulleys and a few isolated houses.....would need to be self sufficient to live here ! Stopped at Las Canados for lunch, which is a very typical and authentic restaurant, and obviously popular with the locals on a Sunday. So tasted lots of typical dishes including pork which was cooked on their open fire, cocidos ( stew of potatoes, chickpeas, chorizo ) all very tasty, finished off with lovely desserts and apple liqueur. A very interesting place as it has a little museum, full of old typewriters, sewing machines, telephones and everything you can think of, as well as a bedroom set out from years ago ! Plus an outside cage of salamanders, which I at first thought was a stone one as it never moved , and a pond of turtles........an amazing place !! Well recommended visit to Veneguera........breathtaking views, and those beautiful colours too.

We decided to drive around the island looking for remote and un-touristy spots and found this gorgeous little place. It was a Sunday so plenty of local families about which added to the ambience. Usual pebble beach for northern Gran Canaria but we were just looking for an idyllic spot for lunch and we found it.

Take the car or you can hike up from the village as far as you want to go. Take water and a map to explore fully. We drove all the way up to the Lake - Presa de las Ninas. Hairy roads, take it slowly, there is a large picnic spot by the lake and you can go for a walk around - the landscape with pine trees is very unusual

I have spent two weeks visiting Arguineguin staying in a fully inclusive hotel. I preferred spending time with my husband exploring the rough unspoiled little town trying the restaurants, bars and sitting watching the views. You can find really good restraunts and bars in the area some serving local caught fish. Take some time to wander around the safe little town. The bar and restaurant owners are very friendly. Visitors staying in local apartments and hotels are predominately Norwegian, french and German, this is reflected in some of the menu's choices especially in the hotel I stayed in. The working port at the bottom of the town has its own restaurant which is a must to try its fresh fish and prawns. I was surprised to see a Spar shop on the main road overlooking the bay.The Spar had excellent choices of pastries and ready fresh salads, great to sit on the many benches looking over the bay and eat your snack at any time of the day. On a Tuesday morning, a very large market with assorted stalls selling leather bags, clothing, fresh fruit and vegetables is situated at the end of the town, just follow the road past the harbour and round to the left. The bars spill onto the road with plenty of tables available for a drink or lunch. Take a ferry from the harbour to Anfi or porta Morgan. walk the path from Arguineguin to Anfi, passing several little bays on the way. Make sure you stop off for a drink it gets really hot and the terrain is quite rough. If you are looking for a modern town with lots of sandy beaches this is not for you. It is a rough coast line with a few little rocky bays. There is a man made beach with beach beds and several restaurant 's near by which is great during the week but gets very busy at weekends. The bay near the town has black volcanic sand with beach beds for hire and quite safe for kids to paddle.If I visited Arguineguin again I would prefer to stay in a apartment.

Naturist/Nudist beach only 10 minutes walk from the main road. There is a barrier preventing vehicular access from the main road, but there is plenty of parking. There are no facilities there and the only people there are those who want to be there. Some people there wear swimwear, some don’t. There are several stone enclosures dotted along the beach giving a bit of seclusion.
