Mogán
Mogán is a municipality in the south-west of Gran Canaria. The town itself sits up a ravine. Life is concentrated on the shore: Puerto de Mogán, a former fishing harbour built up with low white houses along canals, and Puerto Rico and Amadores, resort villages to the west.
This is the driest corner of the island: around ten rainy days a year against thirty-five in Las Palmas in the north. The winter season rests on that dryness — from November to February the municipality is full, and in spring and summer it empties noticeably. More than a third of residents are foreign. The downside of the same position is distance: half an hour to a hospital, forty-five minutes to the airport, and life here is hard without a car.
- Maspalomas · 30 km — the dunes and the island's main resort hub
- Las Palmas de Gran Canaria · 60 km — the capital, the hospitals and the port
- Puerto de Mogán · 3 km — the old harbour with its canals
Mogán sits in Puerto de Mogán, Gran Canaria, 7 km from the water. One of the longest swimming seasons in the database: 9 months with the sea above 20 °C. The sea is 7 km away: not a seaside town but a town near the sea, and the beach means a drive. 35.9% of residents are foreign nationals per the census: Spanish is not the only language you will hear on the street.

What tenants actually pay
sourcedThis is the median rent on active leases — tax records for 2024, a sample of 712 leases. It includes long-standing contracts at unchanged rents, so it sits below what is asked today: our estimate of asking rent is 1 100 € for a two-bedroom.
The point of the 75th percentile: it is closer to what is being signed now than the median. The gap between them shows how much a new tenant overpays relative to long-standing ones.

Asking prices are what long lets are advertised at today; the registry is what tenants pay on signed leases, including old ones. The gap between them is your negotiating argument.

Renting without a Spanish contract
How realistic a long lease is without a nómina — on foreign income, savings or prepayment.
- —35.9% foreign residents — income from abroad is routine for landlords here
- —A community with its own services: agencies have dealt with foreigners before
- —Prices rising 8.5% a year — the landlord picks, and the first filter is a nómina
This is our model, not a measurement: demanding a nómina is an individual landlord's practice and nobody publishes it. The rating is derived from the share of foreign residents, the presence of a community with services, price growth, seasonality of the stock and the size of the town.
