🥭🥑 ¡Vuelve la Feria del Mango y Aguacate de Verano!

El próximo domingo 6 de septiembre celebramos la IX Feria del Mango y Aguacate de Verano, una cita con nuestros productos de la tierra y con el sector primario de Mogán.

📍 Este año cambiamos de ubicación. La feria se celebrará en el paseo peatonal de la avenida Los Marrero, en Playa de Mogán, a la altura del Hotel Cordial, debido a las obras de mejora previstas en la calle Explanada del Castillete por parte del Gobierno de Canarias.

De 8:30 a 17:00 horas, podremos disfrutar de una jornada con puestos de agricultores y agricultoras del municipio, con venta directa de la tierra moganera al consumidor, además de productos elaborados, artesanía, gastronomía y música en directo.

📅 6 de septiembre de 2026
📍 Avenida Los Marrero (paseo peatonal), Playa de Mogán
🕣 De 8:30 a 17:00 horas

✳️Organiza el Ayuntamiento de Mogán con la colaboración del Cabildo de Gran Canaria y Cajasiete.

➡️Más adelante, todos los detalles.

📮 UPDATE – AIRPORT, WEATHER & LOCAL

🇪🇺 EUROMOGÁN YESTERDAY

I went down to EuroMogán yesterday afternoon and what I enjoyed the most was actually the Fishing Museum experience 🐟

They had virtual reality glasses where it felt like you were onboard one of the fishing boats heading out to sea. Very interesting to see how the traditional fishing equipment is used. I also learned that the traditional “nasas” are filled with bread as bait.

Did any of you go yesterday?
And did you try any of the international food? 🌺

🛍️ IMPORTANT - MARKET DAY TOMORROW
Tomorrow is Friday market day in Puerto de Mogán.

The stalls begin setting up very early tonight and into the early morning hours.

⚠️ Important for anyone with a car:
Parking along:
• the road from the roundabout towards the pier
• and the street behind the beach
is prohibited after midnight tonight.

Cars parked there will be removed.

⸻
🛍️ FRIDAY MARKET INFO
The Friday market in Puerto de Mogán is one of the largest on Gran Canaria and attracts visitors from all over the island.

🕘 Market hours:
09:00 - 14:00

The market stretches:
• from near Cordial Mogán Valle
• along the avenue
• across the bridge
• towards the pier and lighthouse

💡 My tips:
• Arrive early if possible
• The first hours are much calmer
• Bring some cash as not all stalls accept cards
• Friendly bargaining is completely normal if prices are not marked

Usually around 20-40% depending on the item and always done politely and with a smile 😊

⚠️ Fridays are noticeably busier in the village:
• parking becomes difficult
• restaurants fill quickly around lunchtime
• taxis may take longer
• busses are full

🍴 Many people stay afterwards for lunch by the harbour or beach promenade.

⸻
⛴️ LOCAL TIP

If you want a little trip outside Puerto de Mogán, the ferry is honestly one of the nicest ways to travel along the coast 🌊

Very relaxed and beautiful coastal views.
