The small lighthouse is on the notorious Costa da Morte, the coast of death. An oil tanker sank here in 2002. The huge monolith with the crack is meant to commemorate this catastrophe.

Beautiful lighthouse next to the Sanctuary of Ntra Sra de la Barca and the Pedras do Cadris. Intense waves and endless views of the Atlantic.
