Image of Águilas, not of the place itself.

During the reign of Carlos III (1759-1788) a royal order granted the new town of Águilas a jurisdiction of two leagues around it, consolidating the Enlightenment-era repopulation that in a few years had multiplied its population and aroused the suspicion of Lorca and Vera.
