Cabo de Palos Lighthouse Guided Tour

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

Description

At the indicated time, we will meet at the entrance to the Cabo de Palos Lighthouse. Are you ready to climb to the highest point and observe the Murcian coast from the top?

Built in the middle of the 19th century, the Cabo de Palos Lighthouse replaced the old watch tower for the Murcian city. Since then, it has lit up the Costa Calida to guide boats safely around the rocks.

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 a historical introduction, it will be time to climb to the top. We will ascend more than 300 stairs to reach its balcony approximately 80 metres (260 feet) above sea level, with views of the Mediterranean, Cabo de Palos, and La Manga del Mar Menor. Photo opportunity!

We will also learn how the lighthouse works and some fun facts, including information on nearby shipwrecks. After 45 minutes, we will conclude our guided tour at the initial meeting point.
