Águilas
A picturesque place. It is an impressive mass of stone, , half sunk into the sea. This stone was detached from the castle hill as a result of an explosion aimed at extracting stone for the construction of the port of Águilas. Its name alludes to the sounds produced by the sea as it penetrates the hollows under the rock, which resemble ‘snoring’ sounds.
Fairs and conferences
Murcia
Una larga sequía en 1694 fue el germen de lo que hoy en día se conoce como la Romería de la Virgen de la Fuensanta. En aquella época se decidió bajar la imagen desde su Santuario hasta la ciudad, lo que provocó intensas lluvias que beneficiaron a los cultivos. Desde entonces los murcianos continúan con esta tradición de bajar la imagen desde su santuario hasta la ciudad durante la primera quincena de septiembre. La romería es seguida multitudinariamente.

Monuments
Balsicas (Torre Pacheco)
The Castle of Ros was commissioned by the monastic order of St. Philip Neri. At first it was property of the Balsicas estate, then it became property of the State and was donated to the General Mr, Antonio Ros de Olano and Peroinya. Queen Isabel II granted this gentleman the title of Viscount Ros de Olano and Marquis of Gaud-el-Yehi, with Spanish greatness. The building underwent several reforms carried out by Mr. Antonio de Vega y Ros de Olano, grandson of the General, who inherited the estate from his mother Mrs. Isabel Ros de Olano y Quintana de Romo, and the title of Viscounty. The building is an old mansion with a crenelated tower. Currently, it is privately owned.
