What's on in Águilas July 2026
The peak summer tourist season begins and Águilas welcomes visitors with a host of events and activities on the shore of the Med
The summer is now officially here, and with it begins the busiest time of the year in Águilas (and other beachside resorts throughout Spain), with the possible exception of the Carnival festivities in February and March.
This may be holiday season for most people, but for the Aguileños there is no rest over the next couple of months as visitors flock to the fantastic beaches and the town offers them accommodation, delicious food and a busy social and cultural life to make their stay in south-western Murcia a truly memorable one. Some of the regular activities and events which fill the diary for the autumn, winter and spring may have wound down their 2025-26 season, but they are more than made up for by the plethora of concerts, parties, fiestas and sporting engagements which are taking place in July and August!
So, make the most of July in Águilas and browse through the following agenda for the month, which, as ever, is likely to be modified and added to as the month progresses:
