August 14 Massive firework display over the Bahía de Levante in Águilas
The annual summer spectacular arrives at the beaches in the centre of Águilas
Every summer one of the most visually exciting events in Águilas is the annual firework display which lights up the night sky over the Bahía de Levante, and this year it is taking place at 23.00 on Thursday 14th August.
In order to make it possible for as many people as possible to attend, the Águilas Plaza shopping mall has once again offered free parking in its car parks for both events, with the doors remaining open and the barriers raised until 2.00.

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.
