Tostón Lighthouse, Lighthouse in La Oliva, Spain.
The Tostón Lighthouse stands 30 meters tall on the northwest coast of Fuerteventura, featuring distinctive red bands on its white structure.
Built in 1897, this lighthouse marks the strait of La Bocayna between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, replacing two previous structures at the same location.
The former lighthouse keeper's residence now houses the Museum of Traditional Fishing, displaying local fishing techniques from Fuerteventura.
Visitors can climb to the top of the 1950s tower for coastal views and explore the marked one-kilometer walking trail around the site.
The Aljibe water collection system, which once supplied water to the lighthouse keepers, remains visible along the road leading to the structure.
