It was recently named one of the best resorts in the Canary Islands, which experience highs of 22C over the winter
With cold weather creeping up on us and days growing increasingly shorter, this time of year can get a bit depressing - Christmas cheer aside, that is. But a winter sun holiday can offer an escape from the bleak days you get in the coming months.
Thanks to its location off the north-west coast of Africa, this Spanish archipelago offers glorious weather all year round, reaching highs of up to 22C in December and January. With a flight time of around four and a half hours from the UK, it’s much more manageable than a trip to the Caribbean or Dubai if you’re after some much-needed vitamin D.
Despite their popularity, there are plenty of undiscovered holiday spots across islands to discover. In fact, Puerto de Mogán, a small resort and fishing village on the southwest coast of Gran Canaria, was recently named the best holiday resort in the Canary Islands in a new survey by consumer group Which?, beating other popular resorts including Los Cristianos in Tenerife and Playa del Ingles in Gran Canaria.
Puerto de Mogán is nestled at the mouth of a steep-sided valley in the municipality of Mogán. Passing through the centre of the village is a canal leading from the harbour and going inland, which has helped it earn the nickname ‘Little Venice’ thanks to the scenic bridges that cross over it.
