Aguilas with its rich, pollution-free environment and exceptional micro-climate has an average annual temperature of 25ºC. The average temperature is close to 20ºC from January to March, making the area also an ideal destination for winter holidays.

Aguilas offers a great variety of amenities for visitors to the area, in terms of good hotels, cafes, bars, banks and shops, while there are also a number of outdoor activities available from rock-climbing to scuba diving in the warm waters of the Mediterranean.

Worth special mention is the Aguilas Carnival which has taken place for almost two hundred years. The procession itself takes four hours or more to pass through the Plaza de España and is claimed to rival that of Rio for the extravangance of the costumes and floats, and the electric atmosphere it promotes. There are a number of highlights during Carnival week, but the most celebrated is undoubtedly the National Festival of Salsa Music.

Surrounded by cultivated countryside and bathed by the Mediterranean, Aguilas offers the opportunity to enjoy your stay to the full, in an area in which the natural heritage has been carefully protected and preserved.

Aguilas is a place of contrasts. Along its twenty eight kilometres of coastline there are steep cliffs interspersed with white beaches and blue sea. History has left its mark on the area, in the form of the castle of San Juan de las Aguilas and the 16th century watchtower, Torre de Cope, as well as the small island off the east coast, Isla del Fraile, which is home to Roman ruins and remains from the 1st century AD.
