The municipality of Águilas is located at the southernmost tip of the Region of Murcia, sitting within a unique environment frequented since ancient times by the classical cultures of the Mediterranean.

Its rugged coastline, dotted with numerous Phoenician, Greek and Roman shipwrecks, begins in the west with the magnificent Playa de la Carolina beach, runs along numerous jagged cliffs where peregrine falcons and Bonelli’s eagles nest, such as at Isla del Fraile or Cabo Cope, and ends at the solitary beaches of Levante, which stretch from Fuente de Cope to La Galera and are a refuge for fauna, especially birds. The mild temperatures of its waters and the warm climate all year long make Águilas a perfect destination for those looking to enjoy the beach and the nautical activities on offer.

Moreover, the municipality of Águilas deftly combines the traditional flavour of a fishing village with the amenities of a modern town. Visitors can enjoy a rich monumental and archaeological heritage, a coastline full of natural spaces of high ecological value and beautiful inland areas where they can enjoy the outdoors to the full.

Key festivities and events include Easter Week and Carnival, which was declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest in 2015.
