LEONERA TOWER
Located in the center of Torre Leonera Park. A defensive line was created along the entire Malaga coast for several centuries against pirates coming from North Africa and against other invaders. A clear example is the lion tower that was built between the 12th and 13th centuries and is currently very well preserved.
MONTEMAYOR CASTLE
Located on the outskirts about 25 minutes from the town. The castle is currently the remains of an ancient Arab fortification from the 8th century. Its functions were mainly surveillance and defensive. Currently, some remains of the defensive towers, part of the enclosure and some cisterns are preserved. The path to the castle viewpoint is beautiful as it offers spectacular views of the coast. To climb there are slopes of around 20% and rocky paths, therefore, it requires experience and appropriate footwear.
