Holidays to Arguineguin have all the mod cons, plus calm, lake-like waters, a dive school and a busy market.
Coast to coast
The fishing village of Arguineguin's set on Gran Canaria's southernmost tip. The draw here's the family-friendly coastline. Its shores are famed for their calm waters and clutch of beaches, but that doesn't mean watersport enthusiasts are left high and dry – the town's home to a top-class diving school, too.
Water action
A paddleboarder's delight awaits at Las Maranuelas Beach. Thanks to the natural protection of a headland and the harbour, the water makes a top spot for the sport. The teeny La Lajilla has golden sands fronted by a natural pool of water. Those in the know head here to take advantage of the crowd-free beach.
Out and about
Each Tuesday, the seafront swells as the market at Arguineguin fills with stalls hawking everything from jewellery and bikinis to tasty fruit and veg. For the freshest fish going, head to the port area. Maspalomas – a 15-minute drive away – gets a thumbs up for its waterpark, theme park and soaring sand dunes.
