Lighthouse hosting a colony of monk seals in ancient times
Recently built (1863), it was built on the ruins of the castle of San Francisco de Paula, part of the defensive lines of the coast. It is reached by a road that runs along salt flats where migratory birds live. This will give you a first impression of the spectacular scenery that the natural park offers. The rock on which the lighthouse is built is nicknamed Arrecife de las Sirenas, because it was supposed to be home to a colony of monk seals in ancient times, whose cries at night were likened to those of mermaids by sailors.

Bel endroit à découvrir, ambiance bout du monde, très belle côte sauvage en contrebas... mais ne vous arrêtez pas là : départ de belles randos tout le long de la côte vers San Jose et au-delà pour explorer (à pied !) le reste du superbe littoral du parc de Cabo de Gata.

Magnifique vue pas de construction. N'oubliez pas de voir toujours dans le parc naturel de Cabo de Gatta la magnifique playa de los genoves. Idéal avec des enfants très peu de fond.
One has access to the lighthouse by a very narrow road, you arrive on a plateau overlooking all Cabo de Gata silence is total. A magnificent view view of the lighthouse.
