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.

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

sourced
Median
600€/mo
75th percentile
781€/mo
Flat size
47

This 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.

Paperwork and practicalities

Appointment for the TIE· Las Palmasfrom reports

Two to five weeks of waiting, and getting in is hard. In June 2026 the CSIF civil-service union warned that the issuing points, Siete Palmas, Telde, Maspalomas, Arrecife and Puerto del Rosario, would not withstand the regularisation wave, while the Podemos party spoke of a black market in appointments at up to 1,000 euros. Lanzarote and Fuerteventura have their own stations.
