The original Mogan is still very much there and for the main part, hasn't changed and won't much either (wasn't any space for it to change). Quaint and colourful houses forming a maize of streets filled with flowers and trees. To the far side the streets become small waterways, a little Venice if you like and to one side is the original fishing village built into the mountain, the other side a luxury marina full of local boats, yachts and Atlantic cruisers. By the harbour there's a vast choice of restaurants and bars, some of the best fish restaurants on the island by the way. The souvenir shops are arty-crafty kind of shops rather than the usual rubbish you find in other places.
You never got the impression you were in a resort when you were in Mogan, it had a more Spanish, local feel about it. In spite of that there was the beach, various excursions leaving from here (the yellow submarine adventure always a good one), a very nice hotel and a lot of private buildings that had been given over to holiday apartments. |
