Faro de Cabo Peñas, Maritime lighthouse at Cape Peñas cliffs, Gozón, Spain.
The cylindrical white tower with a black horizontal band stands 63 meters above sea level at the northern coast of Asturias.
The construction of this maritime safety structure began in the early 1850s and started operating on June 15, 1852, replacing older fire signals.
The lighthouse functions as a central element in Asturian maritime traditions, with local fishermen relying on its guidance through generations.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by following paved roads to the parking area, then taking a short walk to access observation points.
The lighthouse beam extends 20 nautical miles into the Bay of Biscay, serving as a crucial navigation point for vessels along the Spanish coast.
