Arguineguín
Arguineguín a small paradise…
Arguineguín is one of the most populated towns along the southern coast of Gran Canaria, Spain. A typical Canarian fishing village, it is home to many locals rather than being a tourist resort. Arguineguin has 2573 inhabitants. It is part of the Mogán municipality and is located southwest of Las Palmas.
…with great expectations
Arguineguín is the most authentic town in the south of Gran Canaria with beautiful beaches and many seaside restaurants. At its core it is still a fishing village, even though every winter there are thousands winter visitors.
In recent years it has been working to modernize by installing beautiful complexes.
Tuesday: marketday
Tuesday is the busiest day, when the weekly market is held.
If you want to avoid road traffic, take the regular boat services from Puerto Rico or Puerto Mogán to visit the market and take a walk around the harbor.
There is also a pleasant 2.5 km coastal promenade that connects Arguineguín to the beautiful beaches and coves of Patalavaca.
