Phare de Tazones

The white stone lighthouse stands 43 meters above sea level on the cliffs of Asturias, with a cylindrical tower attached to a rectangular building.

Built in 1864, the Tazones lighthouse has provided essential navigation guidance to vessels traversing the dangerous waters of the Cantabrian coast for over 150 years.

The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Asturias, where fishing communities have relied on its signal to safely return from their expeditions.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse by following a marked path from Tazones village, with parking available near the starting point of the trail.

The structure incorporates specific geological monitoring equipment that tracks the stability of the surrounding cliffs and potential erosion patterns.
