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.

A beautiful place to visit.Market days are chaotic.
Tell us about it, we were pulling our hair out that day 🤣
Fly out Thursday Puerto Rico thanks for showing me around 👍
Your welcome Fish, hoe its been useful to you.
cafe de Mogan, is some of the best tapas I have ever had, on the port side
We have actually been in there as it happens. Is nice in there.
Gracias bonito video. Nosotros vamos para alla next week.
Gracias por los lindos comentarios. Esperamos que lo pases muy bien cuando vayas. ¿Te quedas en Mogán?
Thanks, I will definitely pay this a visit, will go early, the older part looked beautiful 🤗
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
Great video 👌
Thank you Thomas
There is also a market in MOGAN on a MONDAY that is more upmarket where local artists sell their work..
Oh that's interesting to know. Maybe worth a look of we get back there thanks for letting us know.
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.
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
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.
Hi,great video, you had a lucky escape with Anfi, before they used to give a carton of 200 cigs, yes,it's a hard sell, most people want to escape 🤣😅,nice video 🌴🌺🌴
Ha ha thanks Sharon. I wish we'd actually filmed the experience but it all happened so quickly and we had nothing with us. Resort was stunning mind but we aren't gullible like that.
@@continentalcoxons As l live in Las Palmas, would love to know where was your favourite place?
@@sharondenn2284 oh my, so many places. Roque nublo was amazing, teror market was really good too. All coming up on the next few videos.
Thank you for this video, relaxingly informative!
Thank you Krystyna, glad to hear you enjoyed it 😊
Great video we love Mogan it's very pretty. Yes we only walked 10 min around the market and was very repetitive. I've never understood the Anfi hype myself. Looking forward to your next one .
Thank you Lynn , thanks for taking time to watch us. Yeah, pleased we've seen the market but not I'm a rush to get back. If we go to Mogan again it'll be on a non-market day for sure.
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)
Yeah, if we go back it won't be on a market day that's for sure
Great vid! 👍
Aww thanks Fi, did you watch it over brunch?
@@continentalcoxons of course! Well, a huge sausage butty haha. Watching your Seahouses vlog now at the request of my 9 year old 😆
Not on too long that one. First ones I did.
@@continentalcoxons yeah she's onto camping in Wooler now, she can't decide 😆 congrats again on 1000 subs! 🥂
Thanks Fi.
🤣🤣🤣We got lured into the Anfi trip too must be about 20 years ago after about 40 mins i said i felt sick and they sent us back in a taxi lol we use to love the boat trip to Mogan for the market mind you its a lot bigger market now
Yeah it's huge. We originally thought it was just that first part. The 2nd bit was even bigger and wouldn't have even known ot was there had we not cut up the side street.
Time share guy didn't happen to be 6ft 5inch tall Greek guy with a beard? He had us just near Spar on the corner but we managed to escape before being bundled into the Taxi! Was there last month. Top videos, it's been nice to re-live our time there.
Yep that's the fella, Dimitri I think he was called
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.
Nice to see Brits enjoying some of the local dishes 😂
Sometimes you just fancy something familiar. Hanging a bit that day as well I think 😅🤭
I wanted to do that trip in September for got to do different in May I be doing it been so many times thanks for showing me we done 2 timeshare one in anfi and got bottle off wine another one some we're else didn't by timeshare.
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.
Thanks Defford do in may
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
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.
Great video. But my god that market I would not survive. Too busy for me. Rather a different day to enjoy the side streets for food and drinks. Looked lovely. You both looked red hot makes uk weather look stupid. Role on next video. Great work guys.
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.
@@continentalcoxons
Bars and cafes and the beach looked great. Me and my wife are thinking of somewhere different to go next year she does like the look of Puerto Rico because of yout videos so cheers for that giving us ideas
Welcome, that's what they're there for 😁
We're here now rating the food in 'Jackies' 😂
Once you've seen our videos it has to be the done thing 🤣🤣
It's catching on
How much is the boat to the markets and was there any English restaurants
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.
Is the beach always closed due to sewage?
I'm not sure about that. We were there in September 2022 so not sure what the current situation is. I hope its not though 😔🤭
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.
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.
