ARCHIVED - Saturday 28th March Águilas: FREE ENGLISH language guided route of the railways tour
Find out about the ròle played by the British in the railway heritage of Águilas
The Tourist office of Águilas runs regular guided routes exploring various aspects of its history, one of which, the RUTA DEL FERROCARRIL which focuses on the history relating to its railway network, is offered in ENGLISH on the 28th March.
Departure is at 10am from the Monumento al Ferrocarril, the monument to the Águilas railways, one of the steam trains which used to ply this railway line and includes a trip on the tourist train, visit to the Sendero del Hornillo, Railway Museum, Casa Huerto de Don Jorge and Railway station and museum.
It’s a fascinating morning out exploring the railway heritage of Águilas and includes a visit to the former loading works above the Embarcadero del Hornillo, an area which is normally closed to the public and a free ride on the tourist train.
The visit is free, although the town would appreciate visitors enjoying a good lunch out in the town afterwards or staying in the town – the tourist office will be happy to provide you with details of where a good lunch can be obtained ( or click here for Águilas restaurants) and accommodation details.
