Punta Abona Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Arico, Spain
The cylindrical concrete tower rises 39 meters high, featuring three distinct red bands against its white exterior and a black lantern cupola at the top.
The first lighthouse at Punta Abona began operations in 1902, serving maritime routes between Santa Cruz de Tenerife and western Canary Islands ports.
The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Tenerife, standing as a testament to the island's connection with seafaring traditions and naval navigation.
The current lighthouse produces three white flashes every twenty seconds, with its beam reaching up to 17 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean.
The structure mirrors the design of Fuencaliente Lighthouse in La Palma but stands 15 meters taller, making it a notable landmark on Tenerife's southeastern coast.
