Arguineguin is one of the most populated towns along the south coast of Gran Canaria. A typical Canarian fishing village, it's home to many locals rather than being a tourist resort. It is part of the municipality of Mogán.

There are some excellent bars and restaurants, the latter specialising in fresh fish caught that day. Tuesday is market day (the largest on the island). The harbour here hosts a ferry service to Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria and Mogán whilst another popular way to reach the town from Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria is by trekking over the mountain between the two towns.
