Far del cap de la Nau

Far del cap de la Nau, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Xàbia, Spain.

Faro del Cabo de la Nao is an octagonal tower 20 metres tall, attached to a double keepers' house and topped by a gallery and lantern. It is painted white with ochre motifs and stands on the cliff at the easternmost point of the Valencian Community, facing Formentera. Its light reaches 23 nautical miles.

The project was auctioned on 1 July 1914 for 68,212 pesetas, but the lighthouse only entered service on 26 May 1928. The delay came from the need to build a road to carry materials, begun on 3 July 1923, linking the cape with the Aduanas neighbourhood of Jávea. Before construction, on 29 December 1902, wireless telegraphy tests between the peninsula and Ibiza were carried out on the promontory using a system designed by the Valencian Julio Cervera.

The lighthouse is managed by the port authority of Alicante. Its white tower with ochre motifs stands against a double keepers' house, and it faces the island of Formentera across the water. The cape marks the easternmost point of the Valencian Community.

The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when lighting is good and the pathways are less crowded. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the clifftop approach involves uneven ground and wind exposure can be strong.

Before the lighthouse existed, on 29 December 1902, the headland of Cap de la Nau hosted wireless telegraphy tests between the Iberian Peninsula and Ibiza, using a system designed by the Valencian engineer Julio Cervera. The tower that stands there today was not lit until 26 May 1928.
