Castillo San Juan de las Aguilas

Interesting place with a stunning view. The signs with information are in Spanish, but there are translation apps you can use for that, where you just hold the mobile camera over the text and it automatically translates it to your language.

Anyways, the accessibility is above expectation, considering the fact that it is indeed an old castle situated high above the city. There is a rather spacious elevator which takes you up to the castle, but some places can only be reached by using narrow stairs.

The man that was in the ticket shop on the day of our visit was super friendly and very helpful.

Ticket price is 2 euros/adult, and kids are free. You can only pay in cash.

Nice maritime fortification with small displays here and there throughout. Lovely views over the town.Interesting story boards telling the history of the Castle but unfortunately as a non Spanish speaker I couldn't interpret them. The Castle is well worth taking the time to visit.

If you have very limited mobility you need to get someone to drop you off by car beside the lift which will take you up to the Castle itself.

I'm not sure what people such as a previous reviewer expect of a defensive Castle perched on a hilltop or cliff.

It goes without saying that accessing such a structure will require prior planning if you have limited mobility. Here they have even provided a lift which is unusual and also helpful. I guess there's no pleasing some people.

Nice views, interesting historical displays and plenty of information/storyboards.

Were I Spanish I'd probably still be there reading them.

Very nice indeed.

It’s a lovely relaxing place to visit with plenty of information about the castle and the history of the area, and wonderful views. We arrived about 8pm after a bracing walk up from the town. The light was lovely at this time. The entrance was free which is a rare pleasure!

Great castle with excellent views along the coastline. The displays inside are interesting and informative and well worth a visit. Very cheap entry and free to seniors, but the walk up is quite demanding and not feasible for those with mobility issues.

Amazing views worth going just for that plus super resteraunt with friendly staff.
Only two euros entrance fees very well presented.

Walk or use the lift up, plenty of good views and the museum is worth a visit to.

Small but perfectly formed castle with great views of surrounding area. Bit of a walk up the hill but there is a lift for those that need it.

Great view of the beach, port and of whole Aguilas from the castle.

Very good to visit with amazing views of Aguilas. It's a bit of a walk up, so keep that in mind, but it's definitely worth the effort. It's also very good value at 2 euros per person, children go free.

A pleasant walk up a hill to visit the interesting historical castle

Loved it here and so cheap at €2 entry fee

Small castle but on a hill with great views all round. Only €2 entrance. There is a lift but it wasn't working when we were there. It closes for lunch at 1:30, last ticket sold 30 minutes before closing. It's a long walk up if you get there too late! Pensioners are free entrance!

Great place great choice friendly and well worth a visit 👍👍

Absolutely stunning views, worth the walk up.

If you are in Aguilas this is a must. Spectacular view over both beaches and the town. The castle and it history is also cool but unfortunately the exhibition was only in Spanish. Would have been nice to have in English also. Only 2 Euros for adults and free for kids and there is a clean toilet at the castle entrance :)

This was such an amazing experience if you are in the area the museum is a must sea and get some ice-cream at the restaurant next door after 👌

Fantastic views, certainly worth the steps a lot of steps great place 4 Euros for family of 6 👍

Nice , clean castle 😊a lot of stairs

Was worth to rise and see the amazing view!!

Lovely views from all round Aguilas perfect for photos
