    Hiking

    The Tajo, Trafalgar and Meca watchtowers were built in the 15th-16th centuries. Built to defend against pirate attacks. At first they were equipped with artillery, later converted to more effective watchtowers. They communicated with each other through smoke signals.

    In 1805, the historic battle of the Spanish and French fleets against the English fleet under Admiral Nelson took place in the waters in front of today's Faro de Trafalgar lighthouse.
