THE WATCH TOWERS
The two towers that give Torreguadiaro its name are not the twin 23 storey 1970's blocks of flats that can be seen for miles and have become a landmark for sailors. To the west of the town can be seen the ruined watchtowers. The original tower (called Torre Quebrada de Guadiaro) can be seen in open ground, adjacent to the beach access car park. A newer and bigger tower was constructed with shaped stone blocks about 200m to the east on sligthly higher ground. More about Torreguadiaro watchtowers.
