Concerts, a huge variety of free guided visits and a wide range of cultural events as Águilas enjoys the autumn...

A burst of very wet weather in early October is now well behind us, but the arrival of Hallowe'en serves as reminder that, in theory at least, autumn is now upon us. At the same time, though, in many Mediterranean coastal resorts it is fair to say that the weather is still warm in comparison with the colder climes of northern Europe, the water is still pleasant and the beaches are well populated when the sun shines!

In Águilas, meanwhile, this is the time of year when the program of events at the seafront auditorium and other venues gets into full swing, and this month alone the program there features a wide range of drama, dance, music, opera and children's entertainment.

As ever there are a host of guided tours taking place, most of them free of charge, and nuermous activities which run throughout the year in the far south-west of the Region of Murcia

Below is the agenda for November 2025 in Águilas (which, as ever is likely to be modified as the month progresses):
