Calaburras Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at Punta de Calaburras, Mijas, Spain
The white cylindrical tower of Calaburras Lighthouse extends 25 meters above sea level, featuring a balcony and lantern that emit light signals every 5 seconds.
Built in 1863 as Spain's first air and sea lighthouse, the structure underwent reconstruction in 1928 to enhance its navigation capabilities and structural design.
The lighthouse represents a significant part of Andalusian maritime infrastructure, guiding vessels through the Mediterranean waters near the Strait of Gibraltar.
The lighthouse operates continuously with mains electricity, providing a visibility range of 28 nautical miles for ships navigating the coastal waters.
The focal height of 46 meters and strategic position make this lighthouse the primary beacon for the entire Málaga province maritime navigation system.
