Águilas presents 2026 Carnival poster 4 months in advance!
Preparations are already under way in Águilas for the biggest Carnival fiesta in the Region of Murcia
We are still two months away from Christmas and many shops in Spain haven’t even started selling decorations, full as they are with Halloween costumes and bric-a-brac, but in Águilas preparations are already under way for the 2026 Carnival in late February.
The official poster for the festivities, which are by far the most spectacular in the Region of Murcia and among the best-known in the whole of Spain, was presented on Saturday 25th October, and is the work of Víctor Quiñonero García, who has titled it “Baile de las Águilas”. Over twenty works were submitted for consideration, and the other finalists were created by Marina Martínez Martínez and Ana Belén López Tomás.

Águilas boasts 28 kilometres of coastline, with many fine, sandy beaches, sheltered coves and unspoilt natural beaches. It is a great summer favourite with Spanish holidaymakers, so always has a superb programme of concerts and activities throughout the summer, as well as the biggest carnival in the Region of Murcia, 40 days before Semana Santa (Easter.)
Throughout the year it also has a number of museums and historical attractions, a castle with fabulous views overlooking the bay and several other points of interest, all of which make it an good place to visit for days out. Throughout the year the tourist office runs monthly guided tours and the route of the railways, which explores the railway history of the town.
The tourist information office is located in the Plaza de Antonio Cortijos, just a short walk from the sea front and Plaza de España, a cool, shaded space in which to enjoy a coffee.
