It is celebrated on October 12, Civil Guard Day. The security force par excellence based in Mogán is one of the most important in Spain in terms of the need to control tourism while defending the safety of nationals. Juan Manuel Rodríguez del Moral, commander of the Civil Guard Post located in Puerto Rico, directs a department of Civil Guard troops and has strict control over the number of positions offered, which was 14.778. A very complex commitment because the estimated number of hotel beds per thousand inhabitants in Mogán is 718,36. It must be taken into account that there are 33 hotels in Mogán.
The agents at the Mogán post control the occupancy of the places offered. On average, tourists spent a total of 2022 nights per person in Mogán hotels in August 7,53, according to the Hotel Occupancy Survey of the National Institute of Statistics. This represents a variation with the previous year of 18,4. In Spain as a whole, the average stay that same month was 3,6 nights per person on average. The arrival of boats precisely generated the collective tribute of Mogán society to the agents specialized in disturbances related to illegal immigration.
For Army Colonel José María Pardo de Santayana, from the Spanish Institute for Strategic Studies (IEEE), "The Canary Islands are a very safe territory in terms of security, proof of this is that tourism is growing." There are 33 hotels open. In addition to controlling tourism, it has the obligation to control borders and crimes that come by sea, which in 2022 has generated congratulations from Interpol and the FBI.
