Pechiguera Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Yaiza, Lanzarote, Spain.
The Pechiguera Lighthouse stands 50 meters above Lanzarote's southwestern coast with a white concrete tower featuring a double balcony and lantern room. The structure offers unobstructed views across the Atlantic shoreline and surrounding volcanic terrain.
Engineer Juan de León y Castillo designed an original 10-meter stone tower at this location in 1866. The initial structure operated until 1988, when it was replaced by the current concrete tower.
Spain's postal service featured this lighthouse alongside five others on a commemorative stamp series in 2008. This recognition reflects its importance as a navigational landmark in regional shipping history.
The facility transmits three white light flashes every 30 seconds and is visible from up to 17 nautical miles away. Its location on a volcanic promontory ensures year-round unobstructed sightlines to the sea.
The tower stands on a volcanic promontory and ranks as the third tallest lighthouse in the Canary Islands after Maspalomas and Morro Jable. This location makes it a distinctive geological feature within the coastal landscape.
