A small watchtower overlooks the northern coast of Ibiza. Built as a defensive structure, it is now open to visitors 24 hours daily. The tower's defining feature is the half-dome chamber at its peak, which carries sound with unusual clarity. From the summit, views reach to Mallorca on clear days and down to Cala San Miguel. The surrounding landscape is quieter than the island's southern beaches. Access requires a steep hike from the beach or drive to a free car park at the base.
