Getting around Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria

Wikipedia says Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) is the island's only commercial airport and that the GC-1 motorway runs across the south of Mogán, which is how most visitors reach the south-west by road. The motorway is about 75 km long, connecting Las Palmas with Puerto de Mogán according to Wikipedia's article on it, and it serves Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés on the way.

Wikipedia says the Global bus company operates inter-urban services across the island, so check its timetable for current routes to Puerto Rico from the airport, Maspalomas and Puerto de Mogán. Wikivoyage notes that buses have luggage compartments that the driver opens remotely.

Living in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria for longer

For longer stays, choose an apartment near one of the shopping centres, because Wikipedia describes them as part of the resort's shops, restaurants and services. Look for a balcony or terrace and a washing machine, and check the distance to the beach.

Wikipedia's figure of fewer than three rainy days a month in winter, with temperatures of 20 to 25°C, explains why Puerto Rico is popular for cold-season stays. A car is helpful for exploring beyond the resort, and the GC-1 motorway gives fast access to Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés and Puerto de Mogán.

When to visit Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria

Wikipedia says winter temperatures in Puerto Rico hover around 20 to 25°C with minimal rainfall, averaging less than three days of precipitation a month. For the island overall, Wikipedia gives average daytime temperatures of 20°C in winter and 26°C in summer, with the south warmer and sunnier than the north.

This means the resort works as a year-round beach base. Check with each accommodation about shade, pools and air conditioning if you travel in summer.

The resort is a base rather than a town in the traditional sense. Wikipedia lists several shopping centres in the resort, including Pasarela, the main Commercial Centre, Europa Center and Mogán Mall, and describes apartment complexes, hotels, restaurants and shops catering to visitors. Wikivoyage recommends Puerto Rico for water sports. The wider municipality has its own page: Mogan. For the neighbouring municipality, see San Bartolomé de Tirajana.
