Historical use. This tourist establishment was used for temporary migrant accommodation in 2020-21, at the request of the Red Cross, while state facilities were being prepared. It is not recorded as being in reception use now. The facts here come from Canary Islands press reporting at the time and from Supreme Court judgment STS 197/2023, a case about a security-staff labour dispute rather than about the establishment’s conduct.

Tourist complex in Arguineguín, Mogán. Used for temporary migrant accommodation managed by the Spanish Red Cross, and named among eight establishments in Supreme Court judgment STS 197/2023. Arguineguín is also where the quayside camp known in the Spanish press as the "muelle de la vergüenza" operated in 2020, holding more than 2,000 people in conditions a judge described as deplorable, moving people into hotel complexes in Mogán and San Bartolomé de Tirajana was the response to that overcrowding. Not recorded as in reception use now.
