    The San Miguel tower or Cabo de Gata tower is an 18th-century military watchtower located in Cabo de Gata, a municipality in Almería (Andalusia, Spain).
    The structure began to be built on March 29, 1756 by order of Ferdinand VI to protect the town of La Almadraba de Monteleva and its salt mines.

    This tower was built in the 18th century to protect the salt pans on the ruins of a previous one that was part of the network of surveillance towers of Cabo de Gata from the Andalusian period. Despite being an Asset of Cultural Interest, it is in a poor state of conservation awaiting a restoration that is yet to come.

    An old tower from which the Guardia Civil probably observed the sea.
    Today he looks a bit neglected and quite closed, even if you can see some graffiti inside. Near the tower is the place where many campers meet for the night or stay for a long time.
