The Torre Lance de las Cañas is a watchtower on the east coast of the municipality of Marbella, in the province of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain. The tower stands on Las Cañas beach, near the mouth of the Arroyo de las Cañas river, from which it takes its name. It forms part of the coastal defense line of the Andalusian Mediterranean coast. Constructed of masonry and brick, it has a horseshoe shape—a semicircle with two slanting projections or hornwork at the back. It is 11 meters high and has a circumference of over 53 meters. It was built in the second half of the 18th century, during the reign of Charles III.

A magnificent viewpoint with a unique natural setting. The water of the reservoirs shimmers a truly turquoise color, offering incredible views. There is a parking lot not far away. Mirador de los Tres Embalses (Viewpoint of the Three Reservoirs): Located at the confluence of the Turón, Guadalteba, and Guadalhorce reservoirs, the viewpoint offers a panoramic view of the various dams and hydroelectric power plants of the El Chorro water network. This viewpoint was originally built as a topographical checkpoint during construction in the early 20th century.

At the end of the loop, we climb towards the lookout surrounded by wooden barriers. This is the end of the loop: Return by road, no longer marked GR path.

This is what it must have looked like everywhere here in the past... relatively quiet and well-paved roads with few modern finca factory products and lots of old houses, gently rolling hills with a wide variety of options. Maybe even up to Alhaurín Golf Club?? if so, then almost certainly with gravel and rough concrete roads... unfortunately I didn't have time to try it.
