Arguineguin is located next to the beach "The Maranuelas" which belongs to the municipality of Mogan, province of Las Palmas. Arguinegin is one of the most populated towns along the south coast of Gran Canaria. A typical Canarian fishing village, it is home to many locals, as opposed to being a popular tourist destination you can also find some few hotels there. The name Arguineguin dates back to around year 1492 or so, when Christopher Columbus was intended to discover the Indies, but instead discovered America. Columbus had sailors with him travelling on his boats from the north of Spain. The name 'Arguineguin,' meaning, 'quiet water,' and comes from the Guanche language. The Norwegians have especially taken the fishing village into their hearts, the Norwegian population being especially large in the wintertime. This might also be due to the Norwegian school, Norwegian church and a Norwegian health center being located in or just outside of Arguineguin. 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 the city. With his many bars, restaurants and a flair of a typical fishing village, it's one of the most populated towns along the south coast of the Island. Tuesday is market day (the largest one on the Island). The harbour hosts a ferry service to Puerto Rico, Anfi Beach and Puerto de Mogan. And the town also lies on several public bus routes and on the expressway (GC1) with a nearby interchange and a highway. Don't be surprised if you see famous footballer David Silva in the area; he likes to frequently visit his hometown!
