Águilas Private Tour

Your private adventure in Águilas will commence at your preferred time, meeting at Avenida del Hornillo. From this point, we will proceed to the nearby locale of Los Casucos, characterized by a stunning staircase. The balustrade and steps, influenced by the artistic style of Gaudí, were crafted by the talented Juan Martínez Asensio.

Next, we will stroll along the El Hornillo wharf. This iron walkway, built in the early 20th century, played a vital role in facilitating the loading of minerals extracted locally. During this leg of the tour, you will learn intriguing facts about the mining heritage of Murcia, including the story of engineer Gustavo Gillman, a remarkable individual fluent in 11 languages!

Our journey continues to the Icarus sculpture and the Railway Monument. From here, we will meander through the old town of Águilas, anchored by the picturesque Plaza de España. We will pause to admire the facade of the Town Hall and the parish church of San José, notable for its twin bell towers.

As we explore the charming streets of the old town, we will share more about the history of Águilas. While its origins trace back to Roman times, the present layout was significantly shaped in the 18th century. This transformation was influenced by the enlightened policies of Carlos III, who, for numerous reasons that will be uncovered during our tour, initiated the urban growth of Águilas.

The experience will conclude with visits to additional locations within the historical heart of Águilas.
