At the start of the year in 2018, whilst taking part in a local quiz at La Zona mini-golf some of my friends asked me if I would like to go & see the Aguilas Carnival in February.
Aguilas Carnival.
I had no idea what it was but accepted the invitation to go with them on the coach trip. I then looked at the information I could find online about the Aguilas Carnival & having waited for the day of the trip to arrive it finally arrived. We boarded the coach in Los Alcázares & after a long drive for a relatively short distance, we arrived as the carnival was starting. Aguilas was packed & finding somewhere to get a good view was difficult.
I think I must have walked the entire length of the route the carnival took twice throughout the night. I will go again but I think next time I would go for a couple of nights, it was too much of a rush going there & back in one day & because we were on a coach & had to leave early, we missed the fireworks in the port area after the Carnival.
The parade itself was very good & I thought that it was well organised. The younger children that appeared in the parade were at the start of it & adults came after the children. This allowed the children to take part in the parade without having to wait around for hours for the parade to start.
