The name of the village has its origin in, the 16th century watchtower; and the site where the tower is found: the point of Horadada which comes from the Spanish word for "bore through" as it is situated on rocks made up of small caves developed by the water boring the rock. The village is also home to a small marina of 525 moorings, built on a small fishing dock, and the Guardia Civil barracks located next to the famous watchtower.
