Mike's review

best for Roman archaeology, Santa Pola history, Tabarca pairing

This is the Roman Santa Pola layer: port warehouses, fish salting, the Elche connection, and the practical harbor for Tabarca boats close by.

From the source

Archaeological remains of Santa Pola’s Roman port, including warehouses, a fish-salting complex, and a residential area tied to ancient Ilici.
