ARCHIVED - Finalists named for the 2022 Paco Rabal Amateur Dramatics Festival in November in Aguilas
Four productions and four substitutes have been named for the annual Águilas theatre festival
The selection process has been completed for the annual “Paco Rabal” National Amateur Dramatics Festival which will be held in Águilas during November, with the four productions initially listed as finalists involving performers from Lleida, Madrid, Navarra and Sevilla.
The jury, consisting of various members from the world of theatre, named a total of eight productions (four finalists and four reserves), having sifted through as many as 108 entries. Those selected for the final are “Nebraska” (Compañía Agalet Teatro, Lleida), “Diablos, brujas y granujas” (Compañía La Luciérnaga, Madrid), “El matrimonio Palavrakis” (Compañía Puntido Teatro, Navarra) and “Anastasia: tributo musical” (Compañía La Barbarie Musical, Sevilla).
Paco Rabal, in whose name the festival is held every year, was born in the humble setting of the tiny Águilas village of Cuesta de Gos in 1926 and went on to become one of Spain’s best-loved actors. He appeared in around 200 films working with directors including Francesc Rovira-Beleta, Luis Buñuel, Carlos Saura, Pedro Almodóvar, William Friedkin, Michelangelo Antonioni, Claude Chabrol and Luchino Visconti, and also won international recognition, winning the Award for Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival for Los Santos Inocentes.

Águilas boasts 28 kilometres of coastline, with many fine, sandy beaches, sheltered coves and unspoilt natural beaches. 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.
