    Hiking

    The Atlantic shows its most beautiful side from the lighthouse. In addition, the beach is pretty empty, since there are not (yet) any large hotel complexes in the immediate vicinity (as of Oct/2017)...

    Cape Trafalgar is located about 40 kilometers south-east of Cadiz. A detour to this historic place is worthwhile because of the beautiful beaches and the dune landscape in which the lighthouse is embedded.
    One or the other will then remember his history lessons again, because the notorious Battle of Trafalgar took place nearby at the beginning of the 19th century.

    Hiking

    For me the most beautiful lighthouse on the Andalusian coast! The snow-white, 34-meter-high lighthouse stands on a rocky plateau and defies the strong wind there. The white facade stands out wonderfully from the blue Atlantic. Unfortunately, the tower cannot be climbed, but you can always find hundreds of photo motifs. By the way, the beach on the Cape is a popular kite spot.

    This 39 meter lighthouse is located in the capital of Cádiz and is the second oldest in Spain. It is inside the enclosure of a military fortress.
