Throughout the year, plays and concerts take place in Theatre-Auditorium of Roquetas de Mar. Recently the new Audience of the School of Music of Aguadulce has been inaugurated.

In addition, in the nucleus of Aguadulce, the cinematographic supply is very ample, with the Chaplin Cinemas and at summer time, we recommend the outdoors double programs of the outside cinemas, – Terraces of Aguadulce. In addition, our municipality has a Bullring, with a gauging of 8,000 people. This bullring plaza is also used as concert hall.
The Castle of Santa Ana, with its new design was inaugurated in May of 2003. By its own merits, the castle has become a dynamic element to the cultural life of Roquetas de Mar, having lodged exhibitions of Photography and painting, holding itself its own conference hall. The Castle is really a centre of the culture of great beauty, located within the framework of the Port, that along with the Audience and the Lighthouse, forms a cultural triangle in this modern area. We recommend to visit the area at dusk when it is particularly pleasant to take a walk and to relax at dusk next to the sea.
The Lighthouse is another one of the emblems of Roquetas de Mar, its long history having been recovered thanks to a subvention of the European Union. At the moment it is an exhibition hall, throughout the year, and every fortnight it lodges painting exhibitions, photographs, and others.

It emphasizes the beauty of the surroundings, being a unique site to enjoy the outdoor activities, mainly in the summer time.
