With a rich, clean natural environment, Aguilas has an exceptional climate of its own, with an average annual temperature of 25 centigrade., making it a wonderful place for winter tourism.

The visitors will be captivated by its clear blue skies, incomparable climate and natural beauty, as well as the hospitality of its inhabitants and its unspoilt secluded beaches. The people themselves are as warm and friendly as their climate; hospitable and affectionate Aguilas offers a good variety of outdoor activities, from climbing or hiking through areas of splendid beauty, to diving in warm waters replete with magnificent fish and vegetation. On the cultural scene, Aguilas offers art exhibits, conferences, concerts, artisan demonstrations, theatre, and much more. Aguilas is also home to the Universidad del Mar (University of the Sea). The Carnival de Aguilas (Carnival of Aguilas), which has been celebrated for the past 200 years, offers ingenious costumes of all shapes and colours. The entire town is out on the streets and offers one of the largest shows in the country.

Aguilas is a land full of contrasts. Along its 28 kilometres of coast we witness the rising of the intensely blue sea, rocky mountains with steep valleys, dotted with the serenity of white sand beaches and transparent waters. Moving inland we find a semi-arid landscape of ochre-coloured soil with little vegetation, but numerous marine fossils and volcanic minerals. Not far to the north the scenery changes to the impressive dark green of an aromatic pine forest. It must be noted that Aguilas has two protected natural areas: the Parque Regional Costero-Litoral de Cabo Cope-Calnegre, and the Paisaje Natural de Cuatro Calas.
These characteristics offer a great range of possibilities for nature lovers, avid sports enthusiasts, or visitors who simply want to leave their hectic schedules and responsibilities behind to lose themselves on an isolated beach, accompanied only by the seagulls.
