Molino Quemado of Mogán

Molino Quemado, a Journey into Gran Canaria’s Milling Tradition

The new Cereal Interpretation Centre of Mogán also features a local dining area, water channels, plantations, and informative panels.

Some buildings leave a lasting mark on the landscape. The Molino Quemado of Mogán is one of those landmarks that always catches the eye with its imposing presence and beauty. Fortunately, we can now do more than admire it from the outside — we can step inside and explore it, embarking on a journey into the island’s milling heritage. Not only do the informative panels detail the features of this 19th-century mill, which played a key role in the agricultural and economic life of Mogán and its surroundings, but they also introduce us to the various types of mills that once existed, the grains that were milled, and the workings of the machinery that so many people on Gran Canaria depended on.


Playa de Anfi, Mogán

Anchored on Anfi beach in Mogán

Calm reigns on this beach in Mogán, in the south of Gran Canaria.

The winds encourage folk to let out their sails and push their boat through the placid southern waters once again. The timid flock of white clouds grazing on the warm mist on the horizon reminds us that the north of the island is still there. Anfi beach, at the mouth of the Verga de Mogán Ravine, is now a stage set with golden sand and turquoise water, lightly stirring as it waits.
