ARGUINEGUIN GRAN CANARIA

Now, hotels and apartments are being built for those who like the atmosphere of a lively little Canarian town. It has a good beach and, with an active fishing community, is famous for fish restaurants. Unfortunately, because the GC1 motorway ends here (at present), the town suffers from occasional traffic jams

North of the town, the Barranco de Arguineguin, a fertile gorge planted with papayas, passion fruit and avocadoes, rises from a flat valley floor towards the heights of the central mountains at Ayacata.
