The historic El Velerin watch tower.
There are numerous watchtowers along the coast of Southern Spain. Some of Moorish origins others from the Christian re-conquest but all with the purpose of looking out for invaders from the South. They have lasted the centuries with remarkable strength. Estepona has seven such towers that remain to this day.
