    Hiking

    Very close to the hermitage of Santa Justa and with impressive views.

    Hiking

    The Tower of San Telmo, from the 14th century, is located on the cliffs that separate the beach from El Sable in the cove of Santa Justa. It is an old medieval watchtower that served as an observatory and point of reference for ships, as well as a bastion and defense against invasions. At the moment it is in ruins and only part of two walls of the original building remain standing, conserving the hollows of two windows.

    The Torreón de San Telmo is a medieval defensive watchtower from the 14th century located between the beaches of El Sable (Tagle) and Santa Justa (Ubiarco).
    Currently, only two walls remain, with a window in each.
