Spain's 56 Most Breathtaking Beachside Towns Worth A Visit
47. Aguilas, Murcia: History in the Hot Sun
On Murcia’s lesser-known Costa Cálida, Águilas stands proud with its castle-topped headland and sun-soaked beaches. Once a Roman port and later a haunt for 19th-century railway tycoons, the town still wears its layered past. Visit the Castillo de San Juan for sweeping views, or head down to Playa de la Carolina for calm coves tucked into cliffs. Its Carnival is legendary, but most of the year Águilas stays under the radar—a sunny, unpretentious town where locals know the best seafood is still served in plastic chairs by the harbor.
