Cabo de Palos Lighthouse Guided Tour

On this guided tour of the Cabo de Palos Lighthouse, we will enjoy views from this renowned monument and learn about its history while climbing to the top, nearly 80 metres (260 feet) above sea level.

Description

At the specified time, we will meet at the entrance to the Cabo de Palos Lighthouse. Prepare to ascend to the highest point and observe the Murcian coast.

Constructed in the mid-19th century, the Cabo de Palos Lighthouse replaced the previous watch tower for the Murcian city, illuminating the Costa Calida to safely guide boats around the rocks.

This lighthouse is among the tallest in Spain. We will explore its history and discuss the projects that funded its construction, as well as the significance of the Cabo de Palos Marine Reserve.

Following a historical introduction at the lighthouse esplanade, we will begin our ascent. We will climb more than 300 stairs to reach the balcony located approximately 80 metres (260 feet) above sea level, offering views of the Mediterranean, Cabo de Palos, and La Manga del Mar Menor. Time for photos!

During the tour, we will learn how the lighthouse operates and discuss shipwrecks that occurred nearby. After 45 minutes, we will conclude our guided tour and return to the initial meeting point.
