This Month in Gran Canaria:
By Jan CooneyShopping: In Puerto de Mogan on Fridays, visit the open-air market with stalls selling shoes, clothes, leather goods and watches. The locally-produced crafts make excellent gifts.
Sightseeing: Moonlight English cinema in the Oasis Shopping Centre, Melonaras. There's comfortable sofa seating and you can order food or drinks to enjoy with your film, including wood-fired pizza and cocktails. Smokers, take note: it's outside, so you're allowed to smoke. Films start at 7pm and 9pm.
Key areas: The pretty village of Puerto de Mogan consists of a profusion of colourful small houses bursting with bougainvillea, palm trees, bird-of-paradise flowers, hibiscus and other glorious plants. Built around a marina and fishing harbour, lined with bars, restaurants and shops, Mogan has been named the "Venice of the Canaries".
