The lighthouse is situated on the highest mount of Cabo de Palos, traditionally a fishing village.
El Faro de Cabo de Palos
Our beloved lighthouse has been the emblem of Cabo de Palos since 1865, with its beam reaching a distance of 40 km, guiding the thousands of ships that sail along our coasts. Its 360 degree panorama allows us to see the length of La Manga, the marine reserve of Islas Hormigas and Isla Grosa and also enjoy some really incredible views.
There are visits (30 minutes) all year round at a fixed rate of 36 Euros with a maximum capacity of 6 people (available every 30 minutes from 9:00 to 18:00).
Guided tour and security measures: The visit will always be accompanied by a guide.
Requirements: Only over 16 years old. You will have to sign a statement of responsibility and be in good shape to climb the lighthouse without risk to your health.
It is highly advisable to wear comfortable shoes.
Weather conditions and security measures: The lighthouse is in a very special place where weather conditions may not always be suitable. The guide’s instructions must be followed at all times.
