The original lighthouse was built in 1864, but due to coastal erosion and other problems, it was rebuilt and relocated several times. The current lighthouse was finally built in its current position in 1976 after several moves.

The Torre del Mar lighthouse is not only a functional part of coastal navigation, but also a popular destination for a tour, especially at sunset. The lighthouse is a fine example of the combination of modern technology with the traditions of seafaring along the Spanish coast.

Cycling

Torre del Mar has a beautiful promenade. Thanks to the laid out bike path, it is also ideal for a short trip with the whole family. There are enough playgrounds, ice cream parlors and restaurants. Unfortunately, the bike path cannot be used continuously for a longer distance.
