In episode 4, we take the ferry from Puerto Rico to Puerto de Mogan for the weekly Friday market.
We catch the 30 minute ferry from Puerto Deportivo and take in the stunning coastal scenery, eventually arriving at our destintion.
Upon arrival we are greeted with a picture postcard marina with 2 storey buildings, many of which are restaurants and cafes surrounding the harbour area.
We then look around the Mogan Market, with stalls full of t-shirts, leather goods and household goods.
At the end of the first part of the market we find the beach, Playa de Mogan. This is also lined with cafe's, bars and restaurants. We stop to refuel in La Literna restaurant before moving on.
We walk into the town and find there are loads more stalls stretching for what seems forever. However, it is a very crowded market and it was extremely hot on the day we were there. It became very crowded and there was a lot of pushing and people barging past. If crowded places aren't your thing we would suggest skipping this market. It was good to go and see this though and worth a trip for souvenirs.
After the market we take a walk through the beautiful quaint streets on Puerto de Mogan heading back towards the marina, where we catch out ferry back to Puerto Rico.

Been to Puerto Rico many times before and the best advice I could give is go to Mogan any day EXCEPT Market Day. Its mostly full of junk and fake clothes - very few local culture items... you will better see and feel Mogan's vibe any other day of the week

@continentalcoxons Жыл бұрын

Hi Steven, yes we know that now but to be fair we did want to look at the market and show people what it was like too. We have seen it now so I doubt we would visit on market day again. I can imagine it being a lovely place when the market is not on. It is beautiful around the marina.

Definitely worth a trip along, even go on a non-market day. Be lively sat around the marina there or at the beach. Nice journey on the ferry across there

Mogan market is a nightmare, its best to go to the port on the boat on a day thats not market day! Deffo dont go on the bus on market day, made that mistake only once!! Came back to PR on the boat! The same market is on in Arguineguin on Tuesday but quieter, also available on the boat from the left marina (facing the sea left)

@continentalcoxons 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, if we go back it won't be on a market day that's for sure

For a nice quiet day in Mogan we get the bus to Mogan Pueblo - a beautiful ride up the valley to the old village for a couple of drinks and something to eat surrounded by the mountains, fare is only a couple of euros

We actually drove through Mogan Pueblo when we got up into the mountains. It looked like a nice tranquil town.

We love Mogan we rented an apartment above the post office noisy on market days, no pool but if you go across the road the bar had a pool you could use if you ate there.

Sounds ideal. I'd imagine most places would probably get noisier on a market day.

Thanks for the walk through! I was at Playa De Ingles two weeks ago. I was going on an excursion to Morgan market that Friday but there were too few participants so It was cancelled. Heard from friends that it had been chaotic down there that day (sept 30th). Best regards, Cau

@continentalcoxons Жыл бұрын

Hi Cau, thanks gorgeous watching and glad you found it helpful. We filmed this in on 16th Sept and was so busy. Maybe doesn't look quite as busy in camera, but believe us it was mental. Lots of pushing and shoving. It's worth a look but not sure we would go back.

No we would never buy a timeshare, did considerl the holiday we were offered there next year but decided against it. Mogan is definitely worth a visit, maybe better on a non-market day though.

@continentalcoxons Жыл бұрын

Thanks Anthro. Yeah it was absolutely scorching that day, and quite closed in when we discovered the 2nd part of the market. Got really busy too. Worth a visit but wouldn't go again. Would got back to Puerto de Mogan though as its lovely round the marina. Would go and spend some time in the cafe/bars and beach. Nice little trip on the ferry though.

I think the price of the boat might actually be on the video. I can't actually remember how much it was as this was a year and a half ago. Restaurant wise, there plenty of choice around the marina that caters for every taste really.

About to visit this Friday whilst on holiday, should I visit it ? Like Jackie I get hot and flustered and don’t like the crowds etc.

@continentalcoxons 8 ай бұрын

The place itself is well worth a visit, beautiful place and a nice beach to sit and relax with plenty of restaurants lining the beach. Avoid going on a Friday if you don't want to go on a market day and you should be fine. Lovely round the marina there too.
