February 7 Carnival body painting contest at the Aguilas auditorium
Spectacular bodies covered only in paint at the Auditorio Infanta Elena in Águilas
This annual event has become one of the most popular included in the Águilas Carnival celebrations, awarded International Tourist Interest status, with extravagant and exhuberant costumes fashioned entirely from paper displayed alongside other costumes made using… well, practically nothing at all other than body paint!
The 23rd annual competition takes place on Saturday February 7 in the Auditorio y Palacio de Congresos "Infanta Doña Elena" and starts at 20.00, with tickets available online here and priced at 15 and 20 euros - and selling fast! Tickets can also be purchased at the Museo Arqueológico, the Casa de la Cultura and at the auditorium box office in the two hours before the event begins.

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.
