Location Information:
Arguineguín (Guanche for "quiet
water"), also Arguinegín is one of
the most populated towns along the
south coast of Gran Canaria, Spain.
A typical Canarian fishing village,
it is home to many locals rather
than being a tourist resort. It is
part of the municipality of Mogán
and is located southwest of Las
Palmas.
There are several bars and
restaurants, the latter specialising
in fresh fish caught the same day.
Tuesday is market day (the largest
on the island). Arguineguin features
a beach and a port. Tourism is not
as popular in Arguineguin as in the
larger places as Maspalomas and
Playa del Ingles. Holiday hotels,
however, can be found in Arguineguín;
Marino I, Dorado Beach, Club Puerto
Atlantico, Sunwing Resort
Arguineguin, Green Beach Hotel and
Dunas La Canaria to mention the
larger ones.
The Norwegians have especially taken
the fishing village into their
hearts, and the Norwegian population
is quite large in the winter time.
This might also be due to the
Norwegian school, Norwegian church
and a Norwegian health center being
located in or just outside of
Arguineguín. There is also a
Norwegian doctor's office - located
at the marketplace in Arguineguin -
and a big Norwegian-owned timeshare
holiday resort named Anfi del Mar,
located just outside of Arguineguín.
