It’s a bit of a coup for the south of Gran Canaria, the newly expanded Anfi Tauro golf course at Mogan, has landed the prestigious Spanish APG championships, to be staged from May 15 to 18. The event will attract a top class field to the par 71 course and add yet another dimension to this vibrant part of the island.

The course was designed by internationally renowned architects Hagge, Smelek and Baril and combines the best of nature with the most thoughtful in design. Palm trees, lakes and volcanic mountains come together to make this course a sheer delight to play, whether it be over 9 or the full 18 holes.

Mogan is a growing centre for tourists and investors alike as it has so much to offer from Puerto de Mogan with it’s marina served by a series of channels that has earned it the name of the Venice of the Canaries, to Playa Mogan, a small village clinging to the cliff-side that has grown into a classy resort with a great beach. This is the heartland of Cardenas Real Estate, an area they have watched develop since they were founded in 1980 by a local family. This insight, coupled with experience and multi lingual staff makes them the wise choice for property investment in Gran Canaria.

It doesn’t take long for people to fall under the spell of Gran Canaria, even cynical tabloid journalists soon mellow out when faced with the multiple charms of a major southern resort like Maspalomas.

The UK’s top selling daily newspaper, The Sun, sent a reporter and her boyfriend over to get away from the spring snow, yes that’s right, spring snow. They certainly picked a nice area as Maspalomas is blessed with the sand dunes of the National Park and 2 full size golf courses. It just happens to be right in the heart of Cardenas Real Estate’sstronghold of excellent and affordable properties in the main southern holiday resorts.

If anyone can offer sound local knowledge, it’s Cardenas, a family company with 28 years experience in the business and three offices in the south at Puerto Rico, Playa de Mogan and Arguineguin. Not that their expertise ends there, they also have a strong network of contacts around the island to find the right premises for a potential customer, whether it is for a holiday home, a long term investment or a business premises.

Most people who make the move full time to Gran Canaria are looking for sun and fun but some prefer something a little more subdued, and Cardenas has a range of properties in more rural settings, where the weather is just as special, but there is a more sedate way of life. Maybe you will be next to make the big move, come for a holiday and end up wanting much more.

The southern tourist hotspots of Gran Canaria are bright, modern and vibrant but local experts, Cardenas Real Estateare well aware of the ancient wonders of nature that surround their key investment areas of Maspalomas, Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogan, Arguineguin and Playa del Ingles.

The seas surrounding the Canary Islands are used by a third of all whale and dolphin species in the world. These proud independent creatures are a symbol of the islands and a popular attraction to visitors. Sometimes they need our help, and this last weekend the animal loving people of Playa del Ingles were able to give a helping hand to a young male dolphin.

The dolphin had become stranded in shallow water near the shore and was in some distress. The local maritime rescue and animal welfare agencies sprung into action and captured the stricken animal, and with great care, transported it to the Taliarte rescue centre, where vets from the University of Las Palmas were waiting to treat it.

Thankfully there was little damage, but the dolphin was kept under watch for 12 hours and checked out for stress and disorientation. Once recovered, the dolphin was taken by boat, out 6 miles from the shore of Playa del Ingles and released to join it’s pod of friends back in the wild.

There are plenty of pleasure boats that can take you out to see whales and dolphins in their natural habitat, from Gran Canaria. They are all licenced and have to conform to a strict code of conduct, to make sure they give these magnificent creatures the room and respect they deserve. Just more examples of the wonders that the island of Gran Canaria can bring into your lives every day when you relocate to this sunshine corner of the Atlantic.
