| Torre de la Sal |
One of my favorite things about Spain are the old architectural monuments. As an American I'm used to celebrating buildings that are 100 years old but in Spain that is hardly noteworthy. It's fascinating to see remnants of buildings that were constructed centuries ago and Spain does a pretty good job of having accompanying information to explain various monuments. But the coolest thing to me is the fact that they have all these old crumbling buildings that aren't necessarily touristy but still preserved and cared for.
Built in the mid 16th century, a network of "torres" were built on the coast. A few of these have been restored and Torre de la Sal stands proudly by the coast. It has a very narrow staircase that you can climb and get some nice views of the ocean. It's surrounded by a natural area with elevated boardwalks (I assume it floods) though I recommend going before dusk as it's full of mosquitoes in the evening!
