Charcos Azules

The point lies on the GC-200 road, in the municipality of Mogán, at the outcrop known as Los Azulejos de Veneguera. These are not bathing pools but rock faces stained green, blue, ochre, yellow and reddish by hydrothermal alteration on the south-western rim of the Tejeda palaeocaldera. The Spanish geological survey catalogues the site as a place of geological interest, with outcrops between kilometres 41 and 50.

Mirador de Puerto de Mogán

A balcony above Puerto de Mogán on the slope of the Lomo Quiebre, taking in the fishing harbour and marina, the white village and the south western coastline of Gran Canaria in a single view. It is reached on foot from the centre, up the narrow lanes that climb behind the quay, and it is one of the most sought after outlooks here in the last hours of the afternoon.

Mirador El Mulato

Perched 687 metres up beside the GC-605 road, Mirador El Mulato looks straight into the head of the Barranco de Mogán. The valley falls away below and opens into a narrow window onto the Atlantic above the town, framed by the ridges of Tauro, Cruz de Mogán and Pinar de Ojeda. After dark it switches roles: this is one of Gran Canaria's astronomical viewpoints, with a clean southern horizon.
