Cabo de Palos Lighthouse Guided Tour

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

Description

At the specified time, we'll meet at the entrance to the Cabo de Palos Lighthouse. We will climb to the highest point and observe the Murcian coast from above.

Built in the middle of the 19th century, the Cabo de Palos Lighthouse replaced the old watch tower for the Murcian city, lighting up the Costa Calida daily to guide boats safely.

It is one of the tallest lighthouses in Spain. We will learn about its history, the projects that sponsored its construction, and the significance of the Cabo de Palos Marine Reserve.

After an introduction, we will climb more than 300 stairs to reach its balcony at approximately 80 metres (260 feet) above sea level, where we can see the Mediterranean, Cabo de Palos, and La Manga del Mar Menor. Photo opportunity included!

We will also learn how the lighthouse works and discuss the nearby sunken boats.

The guided tour will last 45 minutes and will conclude at the initial meeting point.
