March 7 to 22 Farming festival in Águilas
A series of activities in the crop-growing area of Marina de Cope, Garrobillo and Custa de Gos
Agriculture, and particularly tomato and vegetable farming, is one of the mainstays of the economy in the municipality of Águilas (as it is in the Region of Murcia as a whole), and every year the town holds its “Fiestas del Agricultor” in recognition of the contributions made by local farmers.
This year the fiestas are being held for the 31st time with events taking place over three successive weekends around the middle of March, including the following:
Saturday March 7: a chinitos competition at the Asociación La Colmena del Vagón, starting at 22.00.
Sunday March 8: A hiking route starting at the tiny church of Cuesta de Gos at 8.30.
Saturday March 14: A community dinner at Restaurante Marina de Cope with live music from Fabián Pinilla and Francisco Ponce.
Sunday March 15: A football match at the pitch of La Marina at 100.00.
Sunday March 22: A mountain bike ride in the Rambla del Pocico starts at 11.00 and is followed by lunch and the annual migas competition.

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.
