Additional Information

Constructed atop an ancient guard tower from the era of the Kingdom of Granada, the Cerro Gordo Tower, a 16th-century edifice, was built to safeguard the local laborers and fishermen. To the west, it visually aligns with the Caleta or Cantarriján tower and to the east with the Torre de la Herradura. In the past, it was a stronghold for pirates who utilized this area as an entry point to invade the land and instill fear among the local inhabitants, a circumstance that profoundly affected the reduced population in nearby towns.
