BALCÓN DE EUROPA
Previously a fortress sat on this site: you can still make out cannons and remains. In 1812 during the War of Independence, it was destroyed, thus opening up panoramic views of the Mediterranean coast. This monument was initially known as Paseo de la Bateria, but after a large earthquake shook Axarquia, Alfonso XII visited the site and provided it with its famous name: the Balcon de Europa.
