Puerto Rico consists of one canyon, two small bays each with a sports port. So far, the place has been firmly in British hands, with Scandinavians increasingly discovering the place in recent years. Puerto Rico is located in the municipality of Mogan, which is known to have the best climate on Gran Canaria. And therefore it is less windy and somewhat drier in the winter months than elsewhere on Gran Canaria.
The location is also interesting for golfers, since the neighboring village Tauro offers a beautiful golf course. The beach is not very large, but you can reach the beaches of Amadores or Tauro and even the Playa del Cura by foot on the panoramic promenade. An excursion by ferry to the beach of the fishing village Arguineguin is also recommended. Generally, the sea in this part of the island is much quieter. The Puerto Rico Nightlife is concentrated in the various shopping centers.
There are a lot of things to do in Puerto Rico. For tourists interested in Gran Canaria, who like to make excursions, the location of Puerto Rico is also excellently suitable as a holiday destination since the opening of the highway. Since then, the many places of interest in the north (like Teror), the inland (like San Bartolome) and especially the southwest (like Puerto de Mogán) are easily accessible from here.
Puerto Rico's activities and excursions are all about Water Sports. You can go JetSkiing, Diving, Snorkeling and Big Game Sports Fishing. Also most all Boat Trips such as the Day Trip on a Catamaran, the Sunset Tour on a Sailing Ship or the Boat Trip to see Dolphins and Whales start from the both harbours in Puerto Rico.

You will find this on the left side of the beach. There are the excursion boats such as the catamaran and the sailboat. The most dolphin and whale trips are starting from there. And you can find some options with a view of the harbor something to eat or drink.
A small sand beach, that offers all tourist amenities. Sun beds and umbrellas are available for rent. There also are some restaurants and cafes right at the beach and a small supermarket is nearby.
The beach of lovers AMADORES is a white sand beach. From Puerto Rico you can reach it by a short walk over the panoramic promenade along the cliff. On the path along the beach you can sunbathe, have several opportunities to shop and have lunch.
The nearest beach on the opposite direction from Puerto Rico is the beach at Anfi del Mar the luxury resort. This is a very nice white sand beach, palm-lined with Caribbean flair. Around the beach, there are some fashionable brand boutiques and restaurants and coffees with a really great ambience.
After Amadores beach you reach the beach of Tauro which has been completely redesignedonly recently it belongs to the luxury resort Anfi Golf. If you like to walk, you can easily reach the beach of the neighboring town of Playa del Cura from this beach. This is a natural beach of dark sand, as is typical for Gran Canaria.
The family park, named after the computer game of the same name, is an active park. It animates both small and big visitors to the rage. It is ideal for a trip with small children. The children have a lot of different activities. The park even organises birthday parties for your children. You can also get something to eat and drink there.
In the surroundings around Puerto Rico and also on the beach of Amadores you will find several minigolf courses which are partly very beautifully landscaped with green areas. A minigolf game within the family not only is great fun for the kids.

There are some nice restaurants and bars in the shopping centers in Puerto Rico and Amadores beach where you can comfortably end the evening. Later at nights the hustle and bustle begins at the shopping centers of Puerto Rico and the Europa Center. You can party every evening until early in the morning hours in the disco pubs. And around 3 o'clock in the morning the party moves over to the clubs.
The Europe Center is located on the very top of Puerto Rico. From here you have a wonderful view of Puerto Rico and in the evening, the many lights turn into beautiful scenery. Again, there are shops, restaurants and quite popular bars.
During the day you can buy here vacation accessories in the small shops. If you want to enjoy your dinner or a drink with a view of the harbor, this is also the right place. In Puerto Escala there are a few restaurants and cocktail bars.
The colossal shopping center in the center of Puerto Rico is hard to miss. Except for a few exceptions, most shops tend to be more typically touristy. In the evening it becomes a popular pedestrian mile for walkers and people who come for dinner. The parties are celebrated on the upper floor at the Disco Pubs.
Most Puerto Rico holidaymakers don’t even find this shopping center, because it is located in the rather inconspicuous neighbor bay Agua La Perra. It is neither particularly large nor does it offer many shops. However, here are some of the best restaurants you can find in the area: A very good Indian and an excellent Italian and of course also a Spanish restaurant.
