The Torre del Peñón or Torre del Pirulico is located on the rock that rises above the sea in the foothills of a cliff on the road that connects Mojácar with Carboneras in the area of Playa Macenas, it is the last that we find of these characteristics which, communicating visually with the Torre del Rayo, forms the coastal defense system from Adra to Mojácar. It was built during the Nasrid period (12th to 14th centuries) and was used in the Renaissance (16th century) as a watchtower.

When you reach the Torre del Pirulico, which you can climb up its steep stairs, continue a bit and you will see the Arco del Pirulico, then the path continues until you reach an area where you ascend a very steep path to the viewpoint. If you go with children, it is better to return to the beginning of the route at that point so as not to have to overcome so much unevenness.

In summer, remember to drink plenty of water... it gets very hot here very quickly!

By the way, part of the movie "Treasure Island" was filmed here😊
