When you're done why not visit Sinbad's for a refreshing drink or some food? https://simbadrestaurante.com

The Torre Lance de las Cañas can be accessed from the N-340, just at the change of direction of Las Chapas, take Avda. de Cartajena in the direction of the beach, and just at the end and at the foot of the beach is the tower, the most unique in Marbella due to its shape.
Lance de las Cañas Tower was built in the second half of the 18th century to house artillery.
It is a hoof-shaped tower (horseshoe plant). Extended half-circle plant with two oblique spurs or hornworks on the back. Its perimeter is 53.35 meters and its height is greater than 10 meters.
The interior of the Torre Lance de las Cañas has two floors, increasing the surface of them as you go up, at the same time that the thickness of the exterior walls decreases. The lower floor or basement would constitute the "Santa Bárbara" (at exterior ground level). The upper floor or main chamber is well lit by two windows and covered, like the basement, with a brick vault; All the necessary services (cupboard, fireplace) are lined up on the north wall. Finally, a spacious roof terrace, surrounded by a parapet and with a hole for the smoke outlet. Two flights of stairs connect the different chambers and the roof terrace. The access to the tower is six meters from the ground, located on the eastern side of the right jetty.
Its factory is masonry complemented with the use of brick in various elements such as: corners, jambs and lintels, loopholes, parapet moldings and vaults and interior walls.
Hornabeque : Exterior fortification that is made up of two half bastions joined with a curtain. It serves the same purpose as the pincers, but it is stronger, for defending each other's flanks, their faces and the curtain.
Parapet : Low wall or fence made of stone or other material that is placed on bridges and in other places to protect against falls.
