Alumbres Tower, Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park, Andalusia, Spain
The Alumbres Tower, or Torre de los Alumbres, a fortress built in 1509 to defend Rodalquilar's alum mines from pirates, near the Playazo de Rodalquilar in the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park, Almeria, Andalusia, Southern Spain. The stone tower is of square plan and 14m high, surrounded by a small wall with circular towers. The park includes the Sierra del Cabo de Gata mountain range, volcanic rock landscapes, islands, coastline and coral reefs and has the only warm desert climate in Europe. The park was listed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1997 and a Specially Protected Area of Mediterranean Importance in 2001. Picture by Manuel Cohen
