Favàritx Lighthouse

Favàritx Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Cape Favàritx, Menorca, Spain

Favàritx Lighthouse is a white cylindrical tower with a red lantern, standing on the Favàritx cape within the S'Albufera des Grau natural park, about 20 km northeast of Maó. It was built in 1922 using stone from a quarry opened a few metres away, and that quarry is still visible beside the tower.

Favàritx Lighthouse was built in 1922, using stone from a quarry opened a few metres from the tower; that quarry is still visible beside it. The lighthouse stands on the cape of the same name, within the Albufera des Grau natural park, together with the islet of Colom.

The lighthouse stands on the Cap de Favàritx, within the S'Albufera des Grau natural park, next to the Colom island. The rock for its construction was quarried a few metres away, and that quarry is still visible beside the tower. The road to the lighthouse is closed to traffic from June to October, when it can only be reached by a bus leaving from Maó's bus station.

From June to October the road to the lighthouse is closed to traffic, so the only way to reach it is the bus that leaves from Maó's bus station. Outside those months the road is open. The lighthouse stands at Cap de Favàritx, within the Albufera des Grau natural park.

The structure uses a visual identification system with black and white spiral bands that allows ships to recognize it even in daylight, long before electronic navigation became standard. This design feature made the tower useful for maritime orientation at any time of day.
