🌼 Buenos Días / Good Morning

📮 EXTREME UV • AIRPORT, WEATHER & LOCAL UPDATE
📆 Wednesday 24th June 2026

Dear followers 🌺

Did you enjoy the San Juan celebrations last night?

I certainly did. I stayed on the beach from 7:30 in the morning until after the fireworks and loved every minute of the atmosphere. There is something very special about seeing the whole community come together to celebrate by the sea.

This morning we even woke up to a brief shower of rain, which is quite unusual for this time of year.

However, don’t let that fool you.

☀️ Fair weather is expected for most of the day and today’s UV Index is forecast to reach an EXTREME 12.

Please be generous with your sunscreen.

⸻
💡 LOCAL TIP FOR TODAY

🌄 El Mirador Viewpoint

If you only do one thing beyond the beach and harbour, make it this.

El Mirador viewpoint offers what many consider the best view in all of Puerto de Mogán.

The walk starts near the post office and follow the signs all the way to the top.

There are 257 steps and while it is a steady climb, it is perfectly manageable at your own pace.

💡 What to know
✔ Follow the signs from the post office
✔ Take your time, especially in the heat
✔ Bring water

📷 What to bring

A camera or your phone.

The views over the harbour, beach and mountains are truly worth it.

At the top, you will be rewarded with one of the most stunning and memorable views in the whole area.

🗞️Local news from Ayuntamiento Mogan:

🏳️ VIRGEN DEL CARMEN TO BECOME PERPETUAL MAYOR OF MOGÁN

One of the most significant decisions from yesterday’s Mogán council meeting was the unanimous approval to name the Virgen del Carmen of Playa de Mogán and Arguineguín as the perpetual and honorary mayor of the municipality.

The decision recognises the deep cultural, historical and emotional connection that the Virgen del Carmen has with local residents, particularly families connected to the sea and fishing traditions.

During the July celebrations, both statues will symbolically receive the Mayor’s Staff of Office.

🔥 SAN JUAN 2026 🔥

Today is one of the most magical nights of the year in Spain.

Personally, I think the place to be tonight is the beach here in Mogan.

Bring some food, drinks, family and friends, arrive early and enjoy the atmosphere. The beaches become very busy throughout the day and remain lively until the early hours of the morning.

And whatever you do, don’t leave before the fireworks 🎆

One of the most popular traditions is to write down worries, fears or something you would like to leave behind on a piece of paper and throw it into the bonfire.

🔥 The giant bonfire symbolises purification, renewal and new beginnings.

Another famous tradition takes place at midnight.

🌊 Many people walk backwards into the ocean and take three dips in the water.

The tradition says:
✔ Leave bad luck behind
✔ Let go of negative energy
✔ Welcome health, happiness and good fortune

Many people make a silent wish with each dip.

Whether you believe in the tradition or not, it is a beautiful moment shared by thousands of people across Gran Canaria.

📖 WHY DO WE CELEBRATE SAN JUAN?

San Juan is Saint John the Baptist.

His feast day is celebrated on 24th June and became linked with ancient summer solstice celebrations.

Across beaches throughout Gran Canaria thousands gather around bonfires, music, dancing and midnight swims.

⚖️ Mogán goes to court to claim the concession for Puerto de Mogán Marina.

The Mogán Town Council has taken Puertos Canarios to court over the future management of Puerto de Mogán Marina.

The council argues that the original concession was granted to the municipality in 1981 and that management should return to local control when the current concession period ends.

An application for an exceptional 25-year extension will also be presented at the next council meeting.

This is an important issue because Puerto de Mogán is one of the most valuable and profitable marinas in the Canary Islands.

✔ No deposit when paying by card
✔ Full insurance included
✔ Second driver included free of charge
✔ Collection and delivery available at Mogán Mall or your hotel without extra cost
✔ Full / Full petrol policy
✔Free children seats
✔unlimited km

That said, if you are staying mainly in Puerto de Mogán, you may find that you do not need a car at all.

Happy Sunday from beautiful Puerto de Mogán ☀️

Another lovely day is ahead of us. The sea remains calm, the air is fresh and comfortable, and after the usual early morning cloud, we can expect plenty of sunshine as the day progresses.

Yesterday all of my family arrived safely, and what a wonderful evening we had. We were a group of 17 and enjoyed our first family dinner together at Restaurant N-44.

Vidar and his team delivered as always. Fast, friendly service despite such a large group, and every starter and main course arrived perfectly. A lovely evening with excellent food and a very welcoming atmosphere.

Highly recommended if you are looking for somewhere special to dine during your stay 🌺

✨ “HIDDEN” GEMS AROUND PUERTO DE MOGÁN

Most visitors know the marina, the beach and the famous blue bridges.

But Puerto de Mogán has many quieter corners that are often overlooked.

🌊 Playa Chica
A tiny beach beside the harbour with crystal-clear water and excellent snorkelling opportunities.

⚓ The Harbour Breakwater
Walk all the way to the end of the harbour wall for beautiful views across the Atlantic.

🌅 Sunset Place
An informal viewpoint where locals and visitors gather to watch the sunset. On exceptionally clear days you may even see Mount Teide on Tenerife.

🚨 El Faro
The lighthouse at the end of the marina. A wonderful place for a drink while watching the sun disappear into the ocean.

⛰ El Mirador
Climb the 257 steps above the village and enjoy one of the best views in Puerto de Mogán.

🌴 Viveros Mogán
A peaceful walk inland takes you to one of Gran Canaria’s largest plant nurseries.

🦀 Sally Lightfoot Crabs
Look closely around the harbour rocks and you may spot these colourful little crabs darting between the stones.

🐟 Feed the Fish
Take a few crumbs of bread to the first blue bridge and watch dozens of fish gather below.

🧭 Today’s Challenge

Start at La Placita and see if you can find your way back to the post office using only the narrow alleys.

No map.

No main streets.

Just wander.

You might discover your own hidden gem.

🌺 FROM ME TO YOU

Whether you are waking up in Puerto de Mogán, somewhere else on Gran Canaria, back home in the UK, Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands or anywhere else in the world, I hope today brings you something to smile about.

Take a little time for yourself.

Walk a little slower.

Look up from your phone occasionally.

Watch the sea, enjoy the sunshine, have a long lunch with friends, call someone you care about, or simply sit quietly with a coffee and enjoy the moment.

Life moves quickly. Holidays move even quicker.

Make a memory today 🌺
