Tourists have nicknamed it Gran Canaria&#8217;s &#8220;Little Venice&#8221;, because part of the town near the port has a few canals. We really enjoyed wandering around, admiring the white houses with their colorful borders and the perspectives in the alleyways. There are also pretty pink bougainvillea gardens. You&#8217;ll find plenty of restaurants and a lively atmosphere in the evenings. Enjoy the beaches that surround the city and its interesting archaeological site, Ca\u00f1ada de los Gatos.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Gran-Canaria\/Best\/Villages-towns\/i-RKLdfbZ\/0\/MfLHbNj8c3GmGVBzvTwT6b7qxG8jM9JF9FjHHb7GL\/L\/Puerto-de-mogan-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"Puerto de Mogan, alley\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you will see<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Italian-style canals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A historic city center and charming alleyways<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ca\u00f1ada de los Gatos archaeological site<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A lively Friday market<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Gran-Canaria\/Best\/Villages-towns\/i-Kxgzz3G\/0\/LzRdhJzPvFqHkwdG3zSsvhPggWqTJQC5xzLhZcNtW\/L\/puerto-mogan-Mirador-L.jpg\" alt=\"Puerto de Mogan, city\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time should I allow?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Spend the day, the afternoon or a gust of wind.

On the way back, stop off at Pico de las Nieves, the island&#8217;s best-known viewpoint. Why not stop off at the village of Fataga on the way down to Maspalomas?

questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the best time to visit Maspalomas?<\/h3>\n\n<p>We think it&#8217;s great to visit Maspalomas and the surrounding area all year round! Summer and winter are ideal. It&#8217;s a little busier in summer, but the seaside resort comes alive with joy. In winter, temperatures remain very mild, around 20\u00b0 Celsius. The weather is also sunny. The ideal place to soak up the sun and relax. The hotel offer is attractive all year round. Read <a href=\"https:\/\/canarias-lovers.com\/en\/where-stay-maspalomas-best-hotels-neighborhoods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our article on the subject<\/a> and book your dream room now for your next vacation.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Canarias-Lovers\/Gran-Canaria\/Meloneras\/Ville\/i-XxGRM7D\/0\/KmMMt5TrmQSJFNvDmjKgX3zFb7LhGsNp7ZrpXXL9L\/L\/meloneras-phare-maspalomas-L.jpg\" alt=\"Meloneras Promenade\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there an airport in Maspalomas?<\/h3>\n\n<p>No, there&#8217;s no airport in Maspalomas, which is not a city but a seaside resort. Gran Canaria airport in Las Palmas is just a 30-minute drive away. You can easily get to Maspalomas by cab, bus (lines 66 and 90) or car, which is the best way to get around the island.
