Interesting archaeological zone to see. The visit, if you read all the signs, would take about an hour only if you go to see the archaeological area. This area connects with a path to an old cemetery that you can also visit with the ticket. In the archaeological area, there is a bar that opens on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays in the morning, and just above this, there is a beautiful viewpoint where you can see the entire area. The area has no shade, so I recommend applying a good amount of sunscreen and protecting your head. In the neighborhood where the entrance is located, there is free parking, and with certain IDs (youth, student...), the entrance costs less.

Just a 5-minute walk to the beach of Mogán. Archaeological site of the ancient inhabitants of the island. It has several dirt and stone paths where you can observe the houses where they lived, and there are explanatory signs (not in very good condition). You can exit through another place (hotel) and walk along a promenade where you can see the entire port and village of Mogán (fantastic views). Not recommended on very hot days since there is no possibility of shade, and if there are very small children or elderly people, be careful as in several areas the ground can be slippery. At the end of the upper path, just before exiting, there is a cemetery where you can see the graves and some human remains. You can park outside for free.
