Description
Puerto Rico es una zona costera de ambiente familiar en el municipio de Mogán, en la isla de Gran Canaria. Instalarse aquí significa elegir un modo de vida concreto, y los datos lo dibujan bien. Está a 14 metros sobre el nivel del mar, una cota que marca buena parte de su clima.
El clima en Puerto Rico
La media de sol ronda las 7,5 horas al día. Sopla con intensidad moderada la mayor parte del año, presente pero manejable. La proximidad al mar deja un nivel alto de salitre, el precio a pagar por tener el agua tan cerca. Es la combinación de sol, viento y altitud lo que define el día a día aquí, mucho más que la media anual de la isla.
Vivir y trabajar en Puerto Rico
La fibra óptica ya llega a la zona, un punto a favor claro para quien trabaja en remoto. Para lo cotidiano basta con Mogán; para trámites concretos siempre queda a mano el resto de la isla. Y con el clima del archipiélago, la vida al aire libre no es un extra: es la norma.
Precios de la vivienda
Para Mogán manejamos una referencia de 1.994 €/m², derivada de los datos oficiales de tasación de la provincia (MIVAU, 1T 2026). Para una vivienda tipo de la zona, eso se traduce en un precio orientativo de venta en torno a 169.465 € y un alquiler mensual de referencia de unos 635 €. Son medias orientativas: estado, orientación, vistas o cercanía al mar pueden mover estas cifras de forma notable en cualquier dirección.
A un paso quedan Montaña de la Llamadera, Montaña Amadores, Punto del Crux. Son el tipo de detalles que convierten una dirección en un lugar donde apetece quedarse.
¿A quién le encaja Puerto Rico?
Puerto Rico encaja bien con familias que buscan playa cerca sin el precio de las zonas más exclusivas. Los datos ayudan a decidir, pero conocer la zona en persona sigue siendo el paso que de verdad confirma la decisión.

What it's like to live in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico lies on the southern slope of Gran Canaria, leeward of the trade winds. The air arrives here after dropping its moisture over the north of the island, and it shows: fewer clouds, less rain and considerably more hours of clear sunshine than on the opposite side, with a drier landscape. The average of 7,5 hours of daily sunshine is a direct consequence of that position, not a quirk of the local microclimate.
Puerto Rico belongs to the municipality of Mogán, which has 21.172 residents across its whole area. It's a large municipality by Canary Islands standards, with full services, regular public transport and a housing market with constant activity, both for sale and rent.
In the immediate surroundings of Puerto Rico is Montaña de la Llamadera, Montaña Amadores, Punto del Crux and Punta de la Cruz, a useful landmark for getting your bearings before visiting the area.
Within walking distance of the area's centre, 2 schools, 4 health centres, 2 pharmacies, 15 supermarkets and 129 restaurants have been found, according to open OpenStreetMap data. This is an indicative and always conservative count: it reflects what's been mapped, which in smaller towns tends to fall short of what's actually there.
Puerto Rico compared with its surroundings
Being right by the sea, salt-spray is high: it's worth having treated woodwork and fittings, and expecting more façade upkeep than further inland.
With 8 hours of sunshine a day, this is an area made for living outdoors for much of the year.
- For hours of sunshine it ranks 44 out of 54 among the areas of Mogán.
- Its reference price is 3 % below the average for Gran Canaria ( 2.061 €/m²).
- It sits 148 m below the average altitude for Mogán, which shows in the temperature.

How to read these figures
Every figure on this page describes what living here is like all year round, not just on holiday. Here is what each one means:
- Sunshine hours
- Average daily sunshine. More sun means more natural light indoors, lower heating bills and better output if you fit solar panels.
- Wind
- The prevailing strength in the area. Light means comfortable terraces and outdoor living all year; strong is excellent for wind sports, but you feel it day to day.
- Salt air
- The influence of the sea. High means more upkeep for façades, windows, railings and vehicles. Low preserves the property better over time.
- Altitude
- The higher you go, the cooler the nights, the drier the air and the less salt. At coastal level temperatures are steadier and milder.
- Fibre optic
- Coverage recorded in the area. Decisive if you work remotely; worth confirming street by street before you sign.
- Reference price
- The official appraised value per m² applied to a reference-sized property. It is a statistical figure for the area so you can compare, NOT the price of any specific property.
