In "El Mundo", there is a piece about the towers (some say obelisks) that are dotted along the bay of Alcúdia. These are something I have written about in the past, and the article confirms the fact that they were built for submarine target practice training and that their construction started after the Civil War. Built in pairs (14 in total between Playa de Muro and Colonia Sant Pere), one tower in Son Real collapsed during the storm of 2001. There are some other interesting snippets in the article, with mention of defences against potential British invasions during the British possession of Menorca and during the Second World War.
