The view from the majestic promontory of the castle of San Juan de Las Águilas, used as a defence tower by different settlers throughout its history, is really rather impressive.

In the back ground the slim figure of the «Chimenea de La Loma» (The Chimney of Hillock) stands out, symbolising last century’s mining boom.
