Local Bus Travel To And From Arguineguín

Arguineguin is on most of south Gran Canaria's bus routes Arguineguin is on most of south Gran Canaria's bus routes photosgrancanaria.com

Arguineguín, south Gran Canaria's only authentic coastal town, is well served by local buses going between the two big resort centres at Maspalomas/Playa del Inglés and Puerto Rico.

All buses that travel along the GC500 coast road between Maspalomas and Meloneras and Puerto Rico stop at Arguineguín town. Most stop at the main bus stop along the GC500 (a two-minute walk from the sea) but some go into the town itself. The two main stops are the one in front of the La Marea shopping centre and the one by the Whale Tail roundabout (you can't miss it).

The most convenient bus is Line One (blue Global bus) as it travels the whole GC500 road and stops at lots of the quiet beaches between Arguinegiín and Puerto de Mogán.

Be aware that the road is closed between Taurito and Playa de Mogan due to a big rockfall so all buses currently use the motorway for this stretch.

From Playa del Inglés, catch Line One, or Line 33 which starts at the Parque Tropical bus station right at the east end of PDI. It stops in lots of places in PDI and Maspalomas before heading to Arguineguín and then on along the coast road through Patalavaca, Puerto Rico, Amadores and on to Puerto de Mogán. 

Line 39 does a similar route but stops at Playa del Cura rather than continuing on to Puerto de Mogán.

You can also hop on Line 70 which runs from Puerto de Mogán to Palmitos Park via the bus station at Meloneras and Playa del Inglés resort.

A fast option is Line 91 which runs between Puerto de Mogán and Las Palmas via Puerto Rico, Arguineguín and Playa del Inglés. It's a fast option but doesn't stop at as many places as the other lines.

To get the bus to the airport from Arguineguín, or vice verse, take Line One or Line 91.

Tip of the day

  • The Parafarmacia In Gran Canaria Is Not A Chemist!
    The Parafarmacia In Gran Canaria Is Not A Chemist!

    If there is one thing we hate it is visitors being tricked in Gran Canaria. In the past we've warned about overcharging at Gran Canaria chemists, and rip off electronics shops in resorts. 

    In this Tip Of The Day we return to the island's chemists or rather, to the island's fake chemists.

    A chemist in Gran Canaria is called a Farmacia and always has a green cross sign. Farmacias are the only place tobuy medicine in Spain, even basics like paracetamol.

    However, there is another kind of shop in Gran Canaria that looks and sounds like a chemist but doesn't sell medicine. This is the Parafarmacia and it also uses a green cross sign.

    A parafarmacia is a herbal medicine shop that is not allowed to sell any normal medicine such as paracetamol, ibuprofen or antibiotics. 

    Instead, parafarmacias sell herbal alternatives to medicine but don't have to prove that they work and they can charge whatever they want.

    We recently heard from a visitor to Gran Canaria who went into a parafarmacia and was charged 40 euros for a herbal alternative to Ibuprofen. It was only when they read the label that they realised what had happened. 

    To locate a genuine farmacia, see this website and search within your municipio (Puerto Rico is in Mogán, Playa del Inglés is in San Bartolomé de Tirajana). At weekends and on fiesta days many farmacias close but there is always one open, known as the farmacia de guardia, in each municipio.

    Lex Says: To keep costs down, see this article for the way to ask for generic medicine rather than expensive branded alternatives.
