Punta Martiño Lighthouse, Lighthouse on Lobos Island, La Oliva, Spain
The cylindrical stone tower rises 6 meters high atop a single-story yellow building at the northeastern edge of Lobos Island.
Built in 1865 by architect Juan León y Castillo, the lighthouse took five years to complete due to material transportation challenges across the water.
Materials for construction included basalt stones from Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, along with pine wood from Gran Canaria for doors and windows.
The lighthouse guides maritime traffic through the Bocaina Strait between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura islands with a white light pattern visible for 14 nautical miles.
The last lighthouse keeper, Antonio Hernández Páez, raised eight children at the station and served fish soup to visitors of Lobos Island.
