History
Cap d’Or’s watchtower is part of a coastal warning network built between the 16th–18th centuries to spot and signal approaching raiders; the area’s terraced landscapes reflect traditional olive and grape cultivation.
Conservation
Stick to marked paths and avoid disturbing vegetation and nesting birds; coastal scrub is fragile and trampling accelerates erosion.
