TORRE LADRONES

Las Torres Almenaras son fortalezas de vigía que tuvieron su auge en la época de la dominación musulmana. Su nombre almenaras significa ilumina. Sobre la torre se sitúa una cámara con bóveda y chimenea para salida del humo, lo que comunicaba la inminencia de algún peligro. 

Ubicada en las Dunas de Artola, uno de los grandes tesoros naturales del municipio marbellí, y junto al Puerto de Cabopino, se levanta la Torre Ladrones, la más alta del litoral malagueño, tiene unos 16 m. de altura. Esta almenara sirvió a los árabes y cristianos para vigilar las costas. 

En el litoral de Marbella se llegaron a edificar siete torres,atribuyéndose la Torre Ladrones a la época de dominación musulmana bien por su forma, por los materiales empleados en su construcción o por la instrucción dada en 1497 para la provisión de vigías en la misma. 

El cache es un pequeño tubo "reciclado" para la ocasión, por lo que debeis de llevar boligrafo o lapiz. Mucho cuidado con los geomuggles, sobre todo en verano, merodean la zona cada instante. Contiene pipa de fumar traida de Mostar y cordon Garmin porta-gps.

On a weeks holiday with 7 old mates from scouts (40+ years ago!!). The other 7 are completely hooked on golf and cannot unerstand why on earth I would rather only play a couple of times, and "waste good golfing opportunities" by going caching. The whole week was taken up with their laughing at this collectively, but asking more questions about caching privately. Ah well, I enjoyed a good cache fest in the sun anyway.

This was the first of the holiday. It was about 9.00 and already it was hot. Parked on the road, walked though the car park and on to the beach. Couldn't miss the tower. Found the cache easily. Wey hey, I'm on a roll- maybe.
