The Torre del Puerco is a 16th-century watchtower ordered to be built by Philip II to guard the coast of Cádiz against Barbary pirates. In 1811, it witnessed the Battle of Chiclana during the War of Independence. Come and see it next to La Barrosa beach: after 400 years, it still looks out at the Atlantic as it did then.
