Semáforo de Anaga, Signal tower in Igueste de San Andrés, Spain.
The Semáforo de Anaga station stands on a cliff 200 meters above sea level, featuring a rectangular building with an attached hexagonal observatory for maritime monitoring.
Construction of the signal tower began in 1880 under the Ministry of Public Works, opening for service in 1895 and operating until its retirement in 1970.
The semaphore station represents maritime communication methods from the late 19th century, using flags during daylight and colored lights after dark.
Visitors reach the tower through hiking trail PR-TF 5.1, starting at Igueste church and covering 2.5 kilometers with substantial elevation gain.
The facility contains two preserved water cisterns, an external bread oven, and a 16-meter signal mast with a twelve-point crosshead for flag communications.
