Historic Spanish Tower: A Symbol of the Past, A Danger in the Present

Matalascañas, Spain: Historic Tower Poses Danger After Tsunami. The Torre de la Higuera, a 16th-century coastal defense tower in Matalascañas, stands as a testament to history and a warning of nature's power. The tower, originally built to protect against pirates, was dramatically altered by the 1755 tsunami, which shifted it onto the beach. "Playing up there could cost you dearly," warns local resident and video creator EXEXPLORADOR. The video highlights the risks involved, mentioning a past accident that left a young person with lifelong injuries. Authorities have issued fines since 2011 for those ignoring safety warnings. Despite its historical significance, the tower remains a potential hazard, prompting a call for increased awareness and respect for the site. The tower serves as a poignant reminder of the power of nature and the importance of safety.
