Gran Canaria Shopping: Where To Shop In Arguineguín

Arguineguín's weekly market is great for shopping Arguineguín's weekly market is great for shopping

Arguineguín's shops sell useful stuff for residents rather than souvenirs for tourists. It's where the south Gran Canaria locals come to do their shopping. Except on Tuesdays, when the big street market comes to town.

 

Of the two shopping centres in town, the La Marea centre by the main roundabout is newer and has a Supercor supermarket and a few fashion stores. The Ancora shopping centre, by the Whale Tail roundabout, is older and caters to tourists and expats. It has restaurants, Scandie bars like Rock & Troll, and stalls selling fresh fruit and veg. 

Arguineguín's local shops are dotted throughout the town between the main GC 500 road and the sea. Some haven't changed for 50 years while others are moving with the times. If you're looking for something specific you're best off asking in a cafe rather than trying to find the right shop.

Most of the shopping that happens in Arguineguín is at the big outdoor market every Tuesday. This fills the car park at the east end of town and is wildly popular with visitors from the resorts. Arrive early to avoid the crowds.

Boutique Tere is a good place to look for clothes, but your choice in Arguineguín is limited and you'll probably need to read our guide to clothes shopping in Gran Canaria if you are up for a serious shopping day.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
