Torre Vigía Manganeta

Highlight • Historical Site

The Torre Vigía Manganeta is a historic watchtower on the coast of Almayate Bajo, near the mouth of the Vélez River. It was built in the 16th century during the reign of Philip II as part of the Spanish coastal defense system to protect the region from pirate attacks. Raids by North African corsairs, in particular, made such watchtowers necessary.

The cylindrical tower reaches a height of approximately 8 to 10 meters and has a diameter of around 4 meters. It is made of stone and mortar, a typical construction method for coastal watchtowers of that period. Its location near the beach, south of Almayate Bajo and not far from the Vélez River, allowed control of the stretch of coast between Torre del Mar and Benajarafe. Today, the Torre Manganeta is protected as a historical monument and is part of the cultural heritage of Andalusia.

Torre del Mar Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Playa de Torre del Mar is a beautiful, spacious beach, with a wide promenade and many chiringuitos where you can take a break and enjoy the sea view. The Paseo Marítimo de Torre del Mar is very well developed, relatively wide and ideal for cyclists and pedestrians. There is a designated cycle path that stretches along the coast, so you can cycle along the sea in a relaxed manner.

Osborne Bull of Almayate

Highlight • Monument

In 1956, the trademark was created that made Osborne famous around the world - not least because of the ongoing presence of the almost 14-meter-high silhouettes on Spain's highways. The Osborne bull was originally planned as a large billboard on Spanish roads, where it was to serve as an advertisement for the Veterano brandy. In 1956, the Spanish agency Azor was commissioned to design an advertising board for the Veterano brandy. The designer Manolo Prieto, who worked there, was tasked with implementing the design and developed the Osborne bull, which is now known around the world. Over time, it developed from a trademark into a national symbol of Spain. The Osborne bulls that can be seen today no longer have any advertising lettering. There are currently around 90 bulls distributed unevenly across Spain, 21 of which are in Andalusia.
