    Fort Santa Barbara was the eastern fort of the Linea de Contravalación de Gibraltar (Line of Infamy), which stretched across the isthmus in the 18th century.

    It was built in 1730 by the Spanish. The destruction of the fort and the entire line took place in 1810 by Spanish-English agreement. Both sides feared that Napoleon would take the fortified site and use the existing fortifications against both Spain and England.

    The ruins were declared a national heritage site of Spain in 1994. From Levante Beach you can still clearly see the extent of the former Fort Santa Barbara.

    There are old ibexes here, a maze of boulders and old ruins, everyone has to make up their own mind
