Free parking at Águilas Plaza for firework night and the Summer Carnival
Two of the best-attended summer events in Águilas take place this Thursday and Saturday
This coming weekend sees the town of Águilas hosting two of its most spectacular events of the summer, with the huge firework display over the bay on Thursday 14th and the Summer Carnival parade two evenings later.
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 on the night of the fireworks and until 3.00 and 3.00 in the early hours of Sunday morning following the parade.

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.
