Shopping in Puerto Rico Gran Canaria
In the last few years the shopping experience in Puerto Rico have changed, a lot.
Two brand new shopping centers opened during 2019: The Market Puerto Rico and Mogan Mall. Mogan Mall is the biggest shopping area in the South of Gran Canaria and is a must visit when you are on holidays in Puerto Rico or the nearest resort.
Things to do in Gran Canaria
There are excursions and things to do outside the resort that we think that are worth mentioning, the main ones are markets, waterparks and shopping.
There is not a market in Puerto Rico, except the farmers market that takes place by the Puerto Rico Shopping Center every two Sundays.
You can also hire a car in Puerto Rico and get to see the island, make your own way to Aqualand or just use it to discover different resorts in Gran Canaria such as Playa del Ingles, Meloneras or Puerto de Mogan. You can see a lot of the island in just one day, if you plan it well.
