Punta de Teno Lighthouse, Maritime beacon at Buenavista del Norte, Spain.
The white cylindrical tower with red bands stands 20 meters tall at the westernmost point of Tenerife, providing guidance to maritime vessels.
The original lighthouse, constructed in 1897 from volcanic rock and whitewash, served as part of the initial maritime lighting plan for the Canary Islands.
The lighthouse functions as a reference point for local fishing communities, supporting traditional maritime activities in the northern waters of Tenerife.
The lighthouse emits three white flashes every twenty seconds, with its beam reaching 18 nautical miles across the Atlantic waters.
The current structure, dating from 1978, features twin galleries and sits upon a rocky headland at coordinates 28°20′32″N and 16°55′22″W.
