The municipality of Águilas is located at the southernmost tip of the Region of Murcia, in a unique setting visited since ancient times by the classical cultures of the Mediterranean.

Its rugged coastline, with numerous Phoenician, Greek, and Roman shipwrecks, begins in the west with the magnificent Playa de la Carolina, runs along numerous sheer cliffs where peregrine falcons and Bonelli’s eagles nest, such as on Isla del Fraile or Cabo Cope, and ends at the secluded Levante beaches, which stretch from Fuente de Cope to La Galera and are a refuge for wildlife, especially birds. The mild water temperatures and year-round good weather make Águilas a perfect destination for enjoying the beach and water sports.

Furthermore, the municipality of Águilas perfectly blends the traditional flavor of a fishing village with the services of a modern city. Visitors can enjoy a rich monumental and archaeological heritage, a coastline filled with natural areas of high ecological value, and beautiful inland areas where they can experience a thousand outdoor thrills.

Among its most notable festivals is Carnival, declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest in 2015.
