History
The road and viewpoint were engineered by Antonio Parietti Coll in the early 20th century; the Albercuix tower dates to the island’s 16th–17th century coastal defenses against piracy.
Conservation
Posidonia seagrass beds offshore are protected and crucial to water clarity; avoid cliff-side trampling and dispose of waste responsibly to protect fragile scrub habitats.
