Faro de Camarinal, Maritime lighthouse in Tarifa, Spain.

The Camarinal Lighthouse stands on a rocky promontory, directing ships through the Strait of Gibraltar with its powerful beam of light.

Built to protect maritime traffic, this lighthouse has assisted vessels navigating the dangerous waters between Europe and Africa since its establishment.

The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of southern Spain, marking the meeting point of Mediterranean and Atlantic maritime traditions.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse by following a marked path from the parking area, with the walk taking approximately 30 minutes each way.

From its position, the lighthouse offers simultaneous views of two continents and serves as an observation point for migrating birds.
