Punta de Melenara Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Telde, Spain.
The cylindrical white tower of Punta de Melenara Lighthouse reaches 17 meters high and contains twin galleries with a glass cupola on top.
The lighthouse began operations in 1992 as part of the third maritime lighting plan established to improve navigation safety around the Canary Islands.
The structure stands as a representation of maritime engineering, guiding vessels through the eastern waters of Gran Canaria with its distinctive lighting patterns.
The lighthouse emits red flashes for northbound vessels and white flashes for southbound traffic, visible up to 12 nautical miles from the shore.
Located on a rocky headland between Playa del Hombre and Playa de Melenara, the lighthouse operates with a fourth-order 250mm lens and 1000-watt halogen lamp.
