La Playa De Arguineguín: Beaches, Markets and Festivals

Arguineguín is considered the most important fishing location on the coast. At Playa de Arguineguín, you will find calm, clear water for swimming; the beach is protected from wind and currents.

Nature

Playa Perchel de Arguineguin is a 220-metre-long beach with golden and black sand. It is fully accessible and has numerous facilities, including a children's playground. Playa de las Marañuelas is an accessible, 279-metre-long beach with black sand. There are restaurants and bars nearby.

The two lengths provide a clear comparison of size, while the sand colour and surroundings offer different accents. Accessibility and facilities can be considered as separate criteria. The combination of 220 and 279 metres is an objective point of comparison for your planning; the golden and black sand each create a different visible accent. For your own selection, the beaches can be distinguished by length and sand colour, as well as by accessibility, facilities and the surroundings with restaurants and bars.

Culture

At the Mercadillo Municipal de Arguineguín, fresh fruit and vegetables as well as souvenirs, clothing, jewellery, bags, shoes and accessories are sold. The Mercadillo Artesanal de Arguineguín is a craft market offering leather goods, ceramics, costume jewellery and handmade glass figures. The Mercado de Segunda Mano – Rastro de Arguineguín offers curiosities made from second-hand goods.

The three market profiles give you different points of reference: fresh fruit and vegetables as well as other goods, handicrafts and second-hand curiosities. Distinguishing them by type of goods can be useful for planning your day. The distinction is particularly clear when you differentiate between fresh products, handmade items and second-hand goods, and then consider individual categories such as jewellery, clothing or accessories.

The Fiestas del Carmen take place in mid-July in the maritime districts of Arguineguín and Playa de Mogán. They include a maritime procession with festively decorated fishing boats. This procession is accompanied by grilled fish. The Bajada de la Rama de Arguineguín moves through the town's streets to music for three hours; water is thrown from the balconies during the procession.

The festivals differ in terms of timing, locations and proceedings. Mid-July, the maritime districts, the music and the three hours of the Bajada offer different points of reference for your travel planning; boats, grilled fish and water from the balconies provide further accents.

When staying in a holiday apartment in La Playa De Arguineguín, you can consider travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions as separate details. Depending on the desired period, selected category and applicable conditions, different bases for comparison arise. The beach, market and festival stand alongside one another as distinct local themes and can be considered independently.
