Historical sites – El Toston
This fortified tower built on the cliffs overlooking the picturesque harbour of El Cotillo pays tribute to 17th century architecture and was built to protect the small port from invaders. Three iron canons were also used at the time as a defence mechanism for the coast. Nowadays, El Toston is a place of culture and history and plays host to various art exhibitions.
