Tips
The Ponta do Albernaz Lighthouse is the westernmost lighthouse in Europe. It opened in 1925 and features a white cylindrical tower with a red lantern. It was electrically isolated until 2005 and has a history marked by construction challenges due to its remote and elevated location, ideal for signaling navigation between the island of Flores and Corvo.
