Lomo de Los Gatos

An old coastal town in the Mogán ravine

The stone houses of La Cañada de Los Gatos and La Casa de Las Siete Esquinas and the cemeteries of La Puntilla and Las Crucecitas as well as a separate section of burial caves make up Lomo de los Gatos, an archaeological complex located in the southwestern side of Gran Canaria. In the past these places formed a coastal village at the mouth of the Mogán ravine. Archaeological excavations have unearthed artefacts that go back 1,300 years. Such is the significance of the area that it has been declared as an Asset of Cultural Interest.
