    The Cape Vilán lighthouse marks one of the most dangerous stretches of the Costa da Morte, but also one of the most beautiful. Erected at an altitude of 125 meters and attached to the old building of the lighthouse keepers, it has a powerful light cannon capable of reaching 55 km. It is the oldest electric lighthouse in Spain. The enclave was declared of National Interest in 1933 for being a rocky and steep place and today it is a Natural Monument.
