Our coastal heritage deteriorating'El mar como frontera. Castillos y fortalezas de Almuñécar y La Herradura'
(The sea as a border. Castles and fortresses of Almuñécar and La Herradura) is the title of the latest work of the historian Gabriel Sierra Santos, who yesterday in La Herradura introduced his book that calls for better conservation and enhancement of the "rich heritage of our defensive coastal system which has been done for centuries through drama and with efforts of many people. According to this historian, the health of the defensive fortresses of the Costa Tropical "is a problem and a concern". A problem because most of the monuments have been poorly maintained or has been subject to a very radical change in use, such as the Tower of the Punta de la Mona, he says. "Some are also experiencing very rapid deterioration, partly due to land speculation. Others are about to disappear, such as the fortress of Cabria, without any economic resource dedicated to maintaining or restoring these small fortresses as is being done with the Castle of Almuñécar and La Herradura. Sierra Santos claims that there is a lack of a "professional and better conservation study of these fortresses". "Right now the monuments that are best preserved are the castles of Almuñécar and La Herradura because they are in the process of restoration, which is not happening with the towers", he insisted.
