trip to the past, around 1350. It is spring and the bay shows its natural beauty when the beach used to reach the gates of the rock fortifications. The Tower of Homage, was rebuilt during the second Moorish period of occupation in the early 14th century, after its near destruction during a reconquest of Gibraltar by the Moors following a re-occupation by Spanish forces from 1309 to 1333.
The Sierra Bermeja mountain (1.449m) dominates the landscape behind Estepona. There are few places in the world where a mountain reaches this height so close to the sea (10km). From the top you can see the strait of Gibraltar.
The Torre Nueva, also called Torrenueva and sometimes Torre Sabá, is a beacon located in the Andalusian town of La Línea de la Concepción and is one of the 44 towers of the same characteristics that dotted the Spanish coast from the river Guadiaro to the border with Portugal. All of them were built during the reign of Felipe III, along with others located along the Mediterranean coast from Málaga to Catalonia. The purpose of these watchtowers was to warn the coastal population of the presence of Berber pirate ships, for which smoke signals and bonfires were used. At the top of each tower, there was always a bundle of dry wood to be burned immediately in case of danger, transmitting the alarm signal to the towers nearby. The Torre Nueva communicated visually with the Torre Nueva de Guadiaro and the Torre Carbonera. As of 2017 it is in a relatively good state of conservation, integrated with the beach of Playa de Torrenueva to which it gives its name.

A flamenco woman it´s about to putt in one of the holes from Alcaidesa golf, La Linea. I wanted to mix two things that are sort of opposite, golf and flamenco, to create of analogy of my home town, La Linea.
