This island houses the two lighthouses of Ribadeo. The old one, with a square floor plan and currently rehabilitated as tourist accommodation, was built in the 19th century and later replaced by the current one at the end of the 20th century. The latter, larger in scope, stands on a circular concrete tower decorated with black and white stripes.

According to some tourist guides, it is considered one of the most beautiful lighthouses in Galicia and it is also the first one entering this community from Asturias.
It is part of the Miradors route.

It's simply magnificent how the waves break on the rocks and the island. The small café/restaurant invites you to linger.
