Punta La Entallada Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Tuineje, Canary Islands, Spain.
The lighthouse features three square towers on its seaward face, with the central tower supporting a glass lantern dome at 196 meters above sea level.
Inaugurated on December 3, 1954, this lighthouse directed aircraft from Gando airfield toward Spanish Sahara during the Ifni military operations of the 1950s.
The structure incorporates Moorish architectural elements and uses local stone from Tetir village, creating a distinctive pattern with white mortar on its exterior walls.
Located at the easternmost point of Fuerteventura, the lighthouse remains active and operates from Tuesday to Saturday between 10:00 and 17:00 for visitor access.
Standing as the closest point in the Canary Islands to Africa, only 100 kilometers from the continent, the lighthouse emits three white flashes every eighteen seconds.

Fuerteventura, the second largest island in the Canary Islands, is characterized by its diverse landscapes and notable geological features. The island houses spectacular formations such as the white dunes of Corralejo Natural Park, extending over more than 10 kilometers, the 70-million-year-old Ajuy caves, and accessible volcanoes like Calderon Hondo with its 70-meter-deep crater. The coastline offers expansive beaches like the one in Cofete, 12 kilometers long and backed by the Jandía mountains, as well as Lobos Island, a volcanic nature reserve with black sand beaches. Beyond its natural assets, Fuerteventura offers cultural experiences such as the Grain Museum, which traces the island's agricultural history, and activities suitable for all ages with Oasis Park with 3,000 animals or Aqua Water Park in Corralejo. The island's climate allows visits year-round, with mild temperatures and ample sunshine promoting exploration of its natural parks, historical sites, and preserved coastline.
