Cerveza Tower, Scenic viewpoint in Cabo Cervera, Torrevieja, Spain.
The Torre del Moro, also called Torre del Cabo Cervera, is a circular coastal watchtower with a truncated-cone profile, built of rubble masonry on a hill above Cabo Cervera, about five kilometres from Torrevieja on the coast road toward La Mata. Its 1994 restoration added a crenellated top bearing the coat of arms of Torrevieja.
The tower was built in medieval times to protect the Spanish coast from raids. It forms part of a larger chain of watchtowers that gave residents warning to seek safety.
The name connects this place to its maritime heritage and coastal defense role. Visitors today use the same vantage points that once served guards watching for threats at sea.
The location sits close to the beach and is easily reached by car. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the ground can be uneven, and bring sun protection for strong daytime rays.
The 1994 restoration added a crenellated top bearing the coat of arms of Torrevieja, so the tower's present silhouette is a late-20th-century layer over medieval masonry. The 1960 work, by contrast, aimed to recover the original form, including a spiral staircase to the upper part.
