ARCHIVED - Aguilas achieves 100 per cent rating for local government transparency and citizen participation
The council of Águilas reaffirms its commitment to active citizen participation in the running of local affairs
The Town Hall of Águilas has once again achieved a maximum score of 100% in the Infoparticipa rankings compiled by the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona as a measure of the commitment of local governments to transparency and citizen participation.
The corresponding award was collected by Councillor Juan Andrés Torres at a ceremony held in Cartagena on Thursday, when he stated that open and transparent government continues to be one of the main objectives of the local administration in Águilas, exceeding the need to simply comply with legal requirements and going on to back the active participation of citizens in deciding how the municipality is run and how the budget is allocated.
Awards have been given to 9 of the municipalities of the Region of Murcia this year for achieving scores of 90 per cent or more, the others being Cartagena, San Pedro del Pinatar, Alcantarilla, Las Torres de Cotillas, Mula, Caravaca de la Cruz, Torre Pacheco and Lorquí.

It is a great summer favourite with Spanish holidaymakers, so always has a superb programme of concerts and activities throughout the summer, as well as the biggest carnival in the Region of Murcia, 40 days before Semana Santa (Easter.)
Throughout the year it also has a number of museums and historical attractions, a castle with fabulous views overlooking the bay and several other points of interest, all of which make it an good place to visit for days out. Throughout the year the tourist office runs monthly guided tours and the route of the railways, which explores the railway history of the town.
The tourist information office is located in the Plaza de Antonio Cortijos, just a short walk from the sea front and Plaza de España, a cool, shaded space in which to enjoy a coffee.
