June 4, 2019

The Candás Lighthouse is located in the council of Carreño, Asturias, in the Cabo de San Antonio, at Punta del Cuerno, on the western margin of the port of Candás, which serves as shelter from the winds from the west. The enclave was used for the defense of the coast and the port of the English attacks already in the s. XVIII and in 1770 three DEA 24 guns were installed. After the war against the United Kingdom, the cam pieces that were exposed in the vicinity of the lighthouse were dismantled. In 1998 they moved to Prau Gervasia, where they can be seen. In operation since 1917 in its current location, since in the previous one of 1904 in the Peña de los Angeles, there was no possibility of building a house for the lighthouse keeper. In 1955 the siren started to work. The building is rectangular in two heights with a truncated pyramid tower attached to the north side of the building. The height above sea level is 40 meters and 12 meters above the ground. It is built almost on the edge of the cliff. Its scope is 15 nautical miles. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faro_de_Cand%C3%A1s
