Bus Travel From Puerto de Mogán

Puerto de Mogán may be the last stop for most south Gran Canaria buses, but it's really well linked to the other resorts and Las Palmas.

The Monday and Friday markets at Puerto de Mogán are always packed and mean that there's plenty of bus lines to the town.

Here's the most useful bus lines that arrive and depart from Puerto de Mogán.

 

Check a selection of fare costs here and save money by buying return tickets or day passes.

Line 1 is the slow bus between Las Palmas and Puerto de Mogán. It stops everywhere along the coast road to Puerto Rico and then Arguineguín and also in Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés. For longer distances, such as Las Palmas, Line 1 is mind-bogglingly slow and we'd recommend a different bus.

Line 32 whizzes you up the motorway to Playa del Inglés.

Line 33 is  another slow bus between Puerto de Mogán and Playa del Inglés. It uses the old coastal road and stops everywhere.

Line 38 is more an adventure than a bus journey. It goes north-west to La Aldea on the far west coast via winding rural roads. This is the bus that takes you to within walking distance of Veneguera, Tasarte and, if you get off at Cruce de Tasartico, he legendary GüiGüi beach.

Line 84 connects Puerto de Mogán to it's inland twin Pueblo Mogán.

Line 86 is similar but only goes as far as Tasarte.

For Palmitos Park get the next bus to Puerto Rico, then a Line 70 bus.

For Las Palmas, it's quicker to get a bus to Puerto Rico, Maspalomas or Playa del Inglés, then a fast bus to the capital. From Puerto Rico, Line 91 is direct.

Tip of the day

  • Exchange Money In Gran Canaria Or At Home?
    Exchange Money In Gran Canaria Or At Home?

    Visitors to Gran Canaria often ask whether it is better to exchange their local currency for euros at home or in Gran Canaria. 

    The answer is that it is almost always better to buy your euros at home than it is to bring pounds to Gran Canaria and use local banks or currency exchanges. This rule of thumb applies all over the world. A currency is almost always cheaper the further away you are from the place you can spend it (because demand for it is lower). 

    Exchange rates are almost always better at home than in Gran Canaria

    You are very likely to get a better exchange rate using a British currency exchange specialist or local bank. Many of these companies will deliver your euros to your home.

    One of the best rates in the UK is often from the post office, especially if you do it well in advance.

    The only way you'll get a better rate in Gran Canaria than at home is if the exchange rate changes while you are travelling and this is rare. 

    You also have to bear in mind that currency exchanges in Gran Canaria are getting rarer and some local banks don't exchange money for non-clients. 

    To Transfer large amouynts of money to Gran Canaria, or to make regular transfers, always use a reputable currency broker such as Currencies Direct. This will save you money on exchange rates and bank charges and is highky secure. 

    The risk of bringing cash to Gran Canaria

    Another important factor to consider is the risk of bringing cash to Gran Canaria: If it is lost or stolen, there is no way of getting it back. 

    It is much safer to bring a debit or credit card and use local bank ATMs to take out money. These days, a good option is a pre-charged debit card. 

    Cards may be slightly more expensive that carrying cash, unless you seek out a bank card with low commissions, but it is much more secure. 

    Bank ATMs like Bankia, Santander and BBVA often charge lower rates than the ATMs in shopping centres and busy tourist areas.

    Alex Says: Always select the Euro option at ATMs in Gran Canaria because the exchange rate is much better than if you opt for the Local Currency option. The same applies when you pay by card in shops and restaurants.
