As the World Cup in South Africa draws near we are excitedly looking forward to the watching in action 2 Canarian born football players who have been chosen to represent the Spanish selection.

The most important player for those of us who live in the municipal of Mogán is David Jimenez Silva who was born here in Arguineguín in 1986.  At present David plays for Valencia football club but there has been lots of talk in the press about him signing with Real Madrid so for those of us who are Madrid fans this would be fantastic news!

Although he has been living in Valencia since the age of 14 he never misses an opportunity to come to Arguineguín to visit his family and friends and is never too busy to help promote Mogán and Gran Canaria as a holiday destination.

Following his success in the 2008 Euro Cup in which he played in 5 games the City council proudly named the sports complex in Arguineguín after him.

The second Canarian is this season’s most improved player Pedro Rodriguez who plays for Barcelona.  Pedro was born in Tenerife in 1987 and played for a local third division team until he was signed by Barcelona in 2005.  During the season 2008/2009 he debuted as a first team player and has since become irreplaceable helping them to win 5 cup titles last year and this year’s Spanish league.

Apartment in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria

By Cardenas News

Gran Canaria is such a well known family holiday island, you would think it would be very difficult to find a quiet secluded coastal town with good beaches and easy access to the bigger more well known resorts. Think again, Patalavaca fills all those requirements and more, and as well as making a great family home, it is a great investment for the future.

Patalavaca nestles just between Puerto Rico and Arguineguin, and is a cosy place to live, with bags of charm and character. The sandy beach is unspoilt and a short drive or brisk walk away along the promenade, you will find the fishing harbour of Arguineguin. This is a world away from the nightclubs and loud music of the bigger neighbouring resorts, but if you want to go and sample them, you know you can always return to your own delightful back water to take things at a more relaxed pace. Golfers will find Patalavaca especially enticing as it is close to the modern Anfi Tauro golf resort, another haven of tranquility.

This is what you get when you deal with a real estate company like Cardenas Real Estate that has grown up over 28 years in the area, based at three agencies in Arguineguin, Puerto Rico and Playa de Mogan. Local knowledge counts for a lot in Gran Canaria, and Cardenas know where to find the best properties and the right people to deal with to make the buying process quick and efficient. Patalavaca is just one of many hidden gems that Cardenas has among its current list of 491 properties, and they are changing all the time, so keep a regular check on their website and find your ideal home.

Maspalomas has so much to offer from the rolling sand dunes to a championship golf course and some of the best beaches in Gran Canaria. The nightlife is vibrant and offers bars, restaurants and clubs to dance the night away. All that will be within easy reach but you would hardly realise it from the peaceful setting of Monte Leon. The mountains are your backdrop here, and the surrounding greenery adds to the feeling of seclusion. There’s plenty of room to spread out, the en suite bedrooms, living/dining room and kitchen are all spacious and finished to the highest quality with air conditioning and even solar panels for warm water. Families will find these villas the perfect place to live and get a taste of the rural side of Gran Canaria without missing out on the important things like schools, shops and of course, the beaches. Monte Leon is a very exclusive and special development where all your home comforts have been considered, its just waiting for you to move in and enjoy.

What great timing, you’ve popped into our Cardenas blog site, just in time to secure a one bedroom apartment in Loma Verde, where the south west coast of Gran Canaria stretches out in a panoramic view from your spacious Arguineguin home.

Roomy, single storey luxury awaits, in an enclosed development, where all the apartments have a garage, terrace and a communal swimming pool. Although the beachfront is a constant reminder of the growing  popularity of this part of Gran Canaria, your home will retain the privacy and seclusion that you may have not expected from as little as 230,000 euros, but seeing is believing on our main website.

Tropical garden areas and a high quality finish, are other stand out features and now, the partially furnished apartments come complete with the kitchen and appliances ready for you to move in.

This could be just the investment for you, but they are going fast, this is the third phase and they are being snapped up by those eager to sample the climate of Gran Canaria. The views and the setting, coupled with the affordable price, make Loma Verde picture perfect for all your needs.

Well if there was an Oscar for best location and best quality of life, Gran Canaria would be a sure fire favourite. Alas there isn’t but at least Gran Canaria can bask in the reflected glory of Las Palmas born Javier Bardem who lifted the Hollywood statuette as best supporting actor. With the warmth of the climate and the locals welcome, we already know that Gran Canaria is No Country For Cold Men – or women.

Whatever sort of property you are looking for, Cardenas Real Estate can find somewhere to suit you, residential, rural or commercial. The tourist south is the stronghold of Cardenas Real Estate, as they were founded in 1980 in Arguineguin and have grown to become experts in Puerto Rico, Maspalomas and Puerto de Mogan, to name just a few.

You will always get plenty of choice from apartments to houses and villas and the setting is up to you, among their current stock they have apartments in private and holiday complexes in Puerto Rico. If you want to be a little inland and away from the vibrant tourist spots, how about Monte Leon, set among mountains and greenery but still in easy reach of the coastal resorts.

Have a browse and see what properties might tempt you, Cardenas Real Estate are a family company that will guide you every step of the way and take pride in their very own supporting role.

A new resort, new luxury villas and a new investment opportunity, that’s what Tauro has to offer on the south west coast of Gran Canaria.

Luxury and leisure come together in these Villas in Tauro, just up from Puerto Rico and besides a brand new 18 hole golf course. Luxury is a word that is bandied around a lot in property but how else would you describe a development where the delight is in the detail and beautifully finished with the finest materials.

They include fitted wardrobes, air conditioning, a jacuzzi and a well groomed terrace, garden and private pool. You could be excused for not wanting to venture far from your exceptional new home, but it’s worth making the effort to check out the natural attractions nearby.

Tauro valley is your key to the Canarian countryside, whether it’s for walking, admiring the animals and plants, or both. What a choice, turn inland for the rugged mountains, or head to the sea and enjoy the beach. In between is the islands latest championship golf course. A 40,000 square metre driving range, chipping zone and a plantation style club house are just some of the attractions to make your game more enjoyable, what ever your ability is.

Maybe it’s time to let Cardenas estate agents open up other parts of the island to you, for business or pleasure. Telde is a popular inland area on the east coast and has the advantage of being near to Gando airport but still only 50 minutes from the busy southern resort of Puerto Rico. How about a large finca (farm) complete with an orange grove or maybe a 5 bedroom country house with pool.

If you don’t want to go that far north but want to be away from the livelier resort areas, how about Vecindario, where you find plenty of shopping facilities with excellent connections through the highway. 

Choose from a four bedroom, two storey house in a new development or plump for a country house, updated with all mod cons and a pool but unmistakedly Canarian in design and with a view out over the mountains.

If you are looking for a business opportunity, maybe you can try one of the newer rising areas such as Patalavaca or look at the many shops, bars and commercial centres in the main tourist centres. Whatever your choice, Cardenas has the local knowledge to ensure you make an informed choice.

The Maspalomas and Mogan coasts can offer the best of all worlds to renters and buyers alike as it includes the most popular resorts on the island, Maspalomas, Puerto Rico and the twin delights of Puerto and Playa de Mogan. Puerto Rico is built into a large crescent shaped hillside and features a lively marina and fine sand beach. Mogan will please swimmers and sun worshippers with it’s beach, and will also keep the more active busy in the large marina, where sports & sailing are a big favourite, and then there’s always Mogan village, where Canarian life is still largely undisturbed.

For quieter days and restful nights, Tauro is a good choice and Güigüi is a remote beach well worth the walk, away from the main roads. The jewel in the crown of Mogan must be Monte Léon, set a little inland in the hills, it has individual villas with all the modern amenities but bags of character. All this is set against nature at it’s finest with green plants and trees nestling among craggy hillsides. The views are something special and sunsets seem like a command performance put on especially for you.
