The initiative will allow people with visual and motor disabilities to explore Águilas’s main attractions
Águilas Council has taken a big step towards creating a more inclusive tourism experience with the installation of typhological tactile models at several emblematic locations across the town.
The initiative forms part of the “Discover Águilas” Tourism Sustainability Plan, which is financed by Next Generation EU European funds under the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
The project aims to establish an inclusive tourism model that facilitates accessibility for people with visual and motor disabilities, allowing them to fully enjoy the main attractions that Águilas has to offer.
The models have been strategically positioned in locations close to the actual landmarks they represent, making them easily accessible to visitors. One such location is the Explanada del Muelle, situated next to the Icarus monument and the access point to Playa de los Cocedores, ensuring that tourists can engage with the tactile representations before or after visiting the sites themselves.
Through this initiative, Águilas is positioning itself as an innovative tourist destination that prioritises creating experiences adapted for all groups within society.

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.
