Torremuelle Watchtower
Highlight • Monument
Torremuelle has been an important anchorage since ancient times, as evidenced by the underwater remains and the nearby Villa Mauritania. It was an enclave of great importance, given its easy mooring place for ships and its proximity to Benalmadena Castle, which still has a good view of this watchtower. Located on a hill that drops to the beach and dominates two small coves. The environment is landscaped and there are currently no obstacles in the vicinity that limit their view.
It is a tower built from the 16th century within the surveillance system of that time. It has a truncated cone shape that rises on a circular claw. The approximate circumference is 23.80 meters with a height of more than 10 meters.

Elephant Roundabout (Rotonda de los Elefantes)
Highlight • Monument
The elephants symbolize strength, community, closeness to nature and are a reminder of the importance of protecting and preserving wildlife. This herd of elephants is a great example of how public art can enrich the environment and draw attention to important issues!
