Cabo de Palos Lighthouse

From: 6,00

Explore maritime grandeur from above at the Cabo de Palos Lighthouse, the only visitable tower in the Region of Murcia and the second tallest lighthouse in Spain. Immerse yourself in history, enjoy exceptional panoramic views, and live a unique experience alongside the imposing sea.

Description:

8Join us to the top of Cabo de Palos Lighthouse!

Located on one of the three capes of the Region of Murcia, stands the lighthouse with a height of 51 meters, making it the second tallest lighthouse in Spain. Visiting the interior of Cabo de Palos Lighthouse is a unique and unforgettable experience, as it is the only lighthouse in the Region of Murcia that is open to visitors. Located on one of the three capes of the Region of Murcia, atop a small peninsula, stands the lighthouse with a height of 51 meters (81 meters above sea level), making it the second tallest lighthouse in Spain, after the Tower of Hercules in A Coruña.

Our visit will begin with a welcome from our guide on the exterior esplanade of the lighthouse, and after a brief introduction to learn about its history since it started operating in 1865, we will proceed inside. After climbing more than 300 steps, we will reach the upper terrace where we can enjoy a unique panoramic view of our Mediterranean Sea, Cabo de Palos, and La Manga del Mar Menor.

With these spectacular views and the town of Cabo de Palos at our feet, we will have time to take photographs, and with the guidance of our guide, we will learn about the operation of the lighthouse and its peculiarities, such as the functioning of the beacon, which emits a white light with a nominal nighttime range of about 23 nautical miles (43 km).

During our visit, you will also discover other curiosities, such as the history of the sinking of the transatlantic ship “El Sirio” and other important shipwrecks that are part of our underwater heritage, or the importance of the Cabo de Palos and Hormigas Islands Marine Reserve, being a protected underwater natural space and one of the most popular diving destinations in all of Europe.

I had a great experience with Luca planning our time in Northern Italy—he was so knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with! Luca is extremely good at what he does. His communication is prompt and accurate. He arranged our private transportation (cars and boats!), recommended hotels (we loved them!), purchased admission tickets in advance for us (very convenient and time-saving!), and has a team that is just as professional and friendly as he is! You will not be disappointed! I can't wait to plan another trip with Luca!

Luca has helped us with many trips over the past few years. I think we're now planning our 10th trip. We know that if we book a trip with him, it will be amazing! He has top-notch recommendations and is very organized. He often personally meets the tour guides and other people he arranges for us, and everyone loves working with him. He ensures we have the best experience!
