During the summer of 2020 the Tourist office of Águilas is offering a free guided tour of the historical town centre on four dates, although the tour is in SPANISH.
This free tour lasts for around two hours, visits the principal historical sites of the centre of Águilas town and is in SPANISH.
During July and August the tour begins at 20.30 and is offered on the following dates in July and August: 4th July, 18th July, 1st August, 15th August, 29th August.
Águilas has a long and interesting history, its natural resources attracting first prehistoric settlers, then the Romans and finally....the British, all of whom found different reasons to establish settlements in the municipality to draw from the minerals, fish and grasses found in this area.
The tour covers the principal monuments associated with thousands of years of activity, starting at the monument to the carnival, covering the port area, Casino, Plaza de España, front of the Town Hall, Iglesia de san José, Roman thermals and Archaeological museum, concluding at the historic steam train which was built by British engineers and formerly worked on the Águilas Railway system.
The visit is free, and departs from outside the Tourist office at 20.30.

All of the commentary is in SPANISH although some of the guides will speak some English, but it’s worth participating in these routes as a good reason to visit a new area and spend some time exploring, and maybe return to visit places of interest seen as part of this preliminary visit. In many cases further information about the locations on offer can be found on the main ÁGUILAS TODAY page in English.
