It was built to warn ships away from the large rock, Piedra de Salmedina. Despite the lighthouse“s presence, this rock has been responsible for many wrecks over the years. Visitors can tour the 69 metre high lighthouse and climb the 344 steps leading to the very top of the lighthouse. It is the tallest in Spain and remarkably, the third tallest in the world. On a clear day, you can enjoy views of up to 25 miles of the entire area, which are truly magnificent. They include sea views and other sights such as the cloister of the Sanctuary, the Cuzmįn el Bueno Castle and the parish church, as well as the typical fish traps, for which the area is so famous
