Polopos
Polopos
The first mention of the existence of Polopos stretches back to the times of Al Andalus. Los Cehetes were two districts located in the Easternarea of the Granada's coast. Following the reconquest by the Christians, the area became part of the Señorio de Albuñol. In Polopos, visitors can discover its traditions and enjoy the local wine in "El lagar del Cehelí" (Wine Museum). Polopos is approximately 20minutes drive up a mountain road from the Coastal Resorts. It is well worth a visit for its beauty, tranquility and views of the surrounding mountains and right down to the Mediteranean
Torre árabe de Cautor.
Construcción de 23,5 metros de altura realizada en mampostería con refuerzos de ladrillo. Fue modificada en el siglo XVl y adandonada en el XlX. Su importancia se debía a la existencia de una pesquería en las proximidades, por lo que ejercía de enclave defensivo.
Translated From The Spanish:
Construction of 23.5 meters in height of brick masonry with reinforcements. Was changed in the century XVl and abandonada in XlX. Its importance was due to the existence of a fishery in the vicinity, thus exerting defensive enclave.
