Rambla de Santa Pola

Highlight • Trail

There are beautiful views here, a good stretch of road along the coastline. It is a promenade, but in the colder season there are few to no pedestrians here. With a little consideration and caution, you can cycle this section. It's worth it.

Tamarit Tower

Highlight • Monument

The Tamarit Tower is a square coastal watchtower made of masonry with its corners reinforced with silars. It is located at the entrance of a gola that gives access to the lagoon of the Salinas Natural Park. For this reason, it is also known as the Salinas Tower. Another name is Lagoon Tower.

The tower was built in 1552 as part of the system of coastal watchtowers established by Philip II to defend the Levantine coast. In this case, it would be the Defense of Elche, occupying an intermediate place between the Castle of Santa Pola and the Defense Tower of Pinet. Its function was to establish good communication between the two in the event of a Turkish or Berber attack. There is visual communication with the Escaletes Tower.
