The Watchtowers
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.
