Aguilas The harbour and fish docks

Work ended in 1884 and from that moment on the commercial upsurge of Aguilas began. Minerals from the Sierra Almagrera were loaded lead ore from the sierra almenara, Sparta grass and minerals brought down from the provinces of Granada, Murcia, Albacete, Almería and Jaén.

Merchandiza landed included coal from England cement from Catalonia Scotland and the North of Africa.

Between 1912 many boats would dock it not being unusual to see seven or eight ships at the quays at the same time.

The port was closed in 2001 Situated at 37º 27´ 7” longitude west of the Greenwich meridian, the fishing port has the largest fleet in the Region of Murcia.

It is interesting to watch the fish auction which is held in the Lonja building by the port on week days. At present extensive work is being carried out on the port which will change its face completely facilitating visits by the public.
