May 16 and 17 Museums Day shows in Águilas
Paco Rabal and his wife are reincarnated to show some of the main sights of Águilas!
In recent years the Night of the Museums has become one of the most popular dates in the calendar all over the Region of Murcia and this year, with the date falling on Saturday May 16 the weekend is being celebrated with open doors days, free tours and a myriad of other activities.
In the town of Águilas, in the south-west of the Region, the special activities this year are based on the fact that one of the town’s best-known natives, actor Paco Rabal, would have celebrated his 100th birthday in 2026, and to pay homage to his life and work two actors will take on the roles of the film star and his wife Asunción Balaguer in a tour of some of the most iconic sights.
The actors are Miguel Ángel Cárceles and Ana Belén Jiménez, and rather than take participants on a route all around the town they will illustrate their performance with a series of murals outside the archaeological museum. Two performances are scheduled on each of Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th May, at 18.00 and 20.00.

Águilas boasts 28 kilometres of coastline, with many fine, sandy beaches, sheltered coves and unspoilt natural beaches. It is a great summer favourite with Spanish holidaymakers, so always has a superb programme of concerts and activities throughout the summer, as well as the biggest carnival in the Region of Murcia, 40 days before Semana Santa (Easter.)
Throughout the year it also has a number of museums and historical attractions, a castle with fabulous views overlooking the bay and several other points of interest, all of which make it an good place to visit for days out. Throughout the year the tourist office runs monthly guided tours and the route of the railways, which explores the railway history of the town.
The tourist information office is located in the Plaza de Antonio Cortijos, just a short walk from the sea front and Plaza de España, a cool, shaded space in which to enjoy a coffee.
