February 8 First Carnival Cuerva Run in Águilas
A test of athletic stamina and drinking prowess as Carnival gets under way in Águilas!
A new event has been added to the already considerable programme of the Carnival celebrations in Águilas for 2026, and the first edition of the “CARNIVAL CUERVA RUN” is being held at the fairground on Sunday 8th February, starting at 12.00.
Competitors will be running over a course of approximately 5 kilometres, during which they will be making three stops for glasses of the “cuerva” liqueur which is an integral part of Carnival in this part of the world – hardly an event we are likely to see replicated in the Olympics for the foreseeable future, although this writer seems to remember similar contests taking place at college!
The cost of registration is 10 euros (including the drinks!) and those wishing to take part should do so online here through the Instagram account @c.trail.ciudad.de.aguilas.

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.
