October 11 Local fiestas in the La Loma district of Águilas

Afternoon and evening conviviality for all the family in Plaza Fernando Rey

Residents of the district of La Loma in Águilas, which stands at the western end of the town and is not hard to find due to the presence of a large industrial chimney which has survived almost 200 years (although it is no longer in use), are holding their traditional annual fiesta on Sunday 11^th October in the Plaza Fernando Rey on the seafront.

During the afternoon and evening there are a host of activities and events, beginning at 17.30 with a bubble party for the children along with the obligatory bouncy castle and entertainers, and then at 20.00 the evening begins for the grown-ups with Sevillana dancing.

At 21.00 there is live music from the popular local Carnival group Las Esturreás and they are followed at 22.00 by a series of prize draws before the singer Esmeralda takes the stage at 22.15.

Last on the bill is singer Juan Aparicio at 23.00.

A canteen/bar is open all afternoon and evening.
