Path to the watchtower of Aguilo
Following this path, the visitor will arrive at the watchtower of Aguiló, one of oldest, most important and best kept watchtowers of the defence system against the Berber pirates, created in the time of Felipe II (XVI century) within the Kingdom of Valencia . The monument has recently been restored…
Wildlife
Because the tower is so close to the city centre, the most frequent wildlife encountered by visitors along the path will be birds.
The special location of this area allows the visitor to observe not only seabirds, for example yellow-legged gulls and cormorants, but also birds associated with the region's mountains such as blackbirds, turtledoves and kestrels.
With luck and careful attention visitors might also see other animals like rabbits and foxes. And if they are really lucky while at the summit they might see a school of common bottlenose dolphins which live around the coastline.
