Cañada de los Gatos, Archaeological site in Mogán, Canary Islands.

Positioned at the mouth of Mogán ravine, this coastal settlement contains stone houses, burial caves, and various ancient structures across connected areas.

The settlement spans over 1300 years of history, with structures built by the Berber aboriginal inhabitants of Gran Canaria until its abandonment in the 15th century.

The archaeological complex includes nineteen documented structures, featuring cave houses, burial mounds, stone cists, and funerary caves from pre-Hispanic times.

The site welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM during winter months, with extended hours until 6:00 PM in summer.

Two square constructions within the complex serve as funeral monuments, connecting to Las Crucesitas cemetery through a path lined with burial caves.
