About Caleta de Fuste
Caleta was developed in the 1980s in to the tourist destination that people visit today, but its roots date back much further. Many centuries ago, Caleta de Fuste was a key landing point for pirates and others of a similar, lawless disposition. They regularly ventured inland terrorised the local population. In 1740, a major incursion by British pirates at Gran Tarajal resulted in the complete destruction of the Tuineje population, something that is remembered across the island ever since. As a result, two identical towers were built to help defend the island: the Castillo at El Cotillo on the West Coast (known also as Torre del Tostόn), and the Torre de San Buenaventura at Caleta de Fuste. They replaced much older structures that had been erected in the 15th century by Norman conquerors
