Hiking
There are still numerous towers along the Costa del Sol today. They were built to protect the bay from the Barbary states, who not only plundered the coastal villages but also enslaved them. Many towers were already built by the Moors. The tower of Mijas is of a “newer” type and is more in keeping with the fortress architecture of the 18th century
