Mirador Torre del Tajo - Medio Ambiente — Attraction in Barbate

Highly unsafe place! The area is threatened by local drugged people (junkies) that hide in the parking normally in moto cross or big black suv and wait for rented cars in order to assault them and steal whatever is inside. This is my car when I came back from a short 15 min walk (just to the shore, we didn't go to the tower). We saw the guy on the motocross who was coming towards us while we were entering the trail.

We had our luggage stolen from the car even though it was hidden inside the boot. The car window was smashed to gain entry. So be really careful and avoid the car parks on the coastal road. When we reported it to the police they said that theft from cars was common...
