    The Cabo Peñas Lighthouse is located on the most prominent plateau of Cabo Peñas, 100 meters above sea level and about 60 meters from the cliff.
    In operation since 1852, it was electrified in 1946. In 1951, a siren was installed that emits the letter "P" in Morse code, which was replaced in 1977. In 1956, a radio beacon was installed, transmitting in Morse code PS, and in 2003 a DGPS station was added. It emits three white flashes every 15 seconds, with a range of 21 nautical miles.

      A lighthouse that stands on top of a rocky promontory overlooking the Bay of Biscay. The views from the lighthouse are absolutely stunning, with sweeping views of the coastline and out to sea. There is a small museum located inside the lighthouse, which gives visitors an interesting insight into the history and importance of the lighthouse.

        The Cabo Peñas lighthouse is located on the most outgoing plateau of Cabo de Peñas, in the Gozón council, Asturias, 100 meters from sea level and about 60 meters from the cliff. In operation since 1852, it was electrified in 1946. In 1951 a siren was installed, replaced in 1977. In 1956 a radiobeam was installed and in 2003 a Dgps station.
        It is one of the few lighthouses in Spain that still have a lighthouse keeper, a job on the verge of extinction by automating almost all the lighthouses in the world. The lighthouse has three rotating beacons that are used to detect ships and wind speed. The building is square with three heights. The truncated pyramid tower attached to the north ledge of the building. It currently houses a museum of marine themes on the ground floor of the building. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faro_de_Cabo_Pe%C3%B1as
