La Lajilla: Arguineguin's Little Secret Beach

Arguineguín's Scandinavian winter residents hang out La Lajilla beach and natural swimming pool and are quite happy that nobody else knows where it is.

 

Tiny La Lajillla beach is just a patch of golden sand next to the crystal clear La Lajilla natural swimming pool. It has a handful of sun loungers, three waterside terrace restaurants, showers and a decking area but no toilet facilities.

La Lajilla is a peaceful spot and the pool is warm and calm. It's often at its busiest first thing in the morning during the winter when lots of Scandinavians go for their dawn swim. The beach rarely has more than thirty people on it and you often have the pool to yourself on weekdays.

La Lajilla is a great family spot with safe swimming and nowhere for the kids to get lost. The fish are very friendly.

Get to it by walking down to the sea from Arguineguín's whale tail roundabout and looking to the right through the palm trees. Or you can walk all the way from Anfi and Patalavaca beaches along the coast.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
