The Torre del Cantal is located in an elevated position at the end of Paseo de la Marina. Like the Torre de Chilches and the Torre del Jaral, the ancient documentation considers the Torre del Cantal as Nasrid heritage from the 12th to 15th centuries. You also have a nice view over the coast of Rincón de la Victoria.

The Torre Vigía de El Cantal is a 14th-century Moorish coastal watchtower that was part of a defense system against pirates. It stands on a rocky outcrop about thirty meters above the sea. The tower is approximately eight to ten meters high, built of stone and limestone, and was used for signaling with smoke and fire. After the Reconquista, it lost its military significance but remained as a landmark. Today, it is protected as a cultural monument ("Bien de Interés Cultural") and offers a breathtaking view of the coast.
