Under the Punta de Frouxeira lighthouse there is a complex of military tunnels built in the 1920s, from one side of the lighthouse a dirt path leads to the entrance of the tunnels, a military building in the shape of a "Y", inside the tunnels there were two huge light projectors that were used to detect possible attacks and these light beams also served so that the batteries placed at the top of the cliff could point, inside the tunnels there are some rooms that served for shelter and rest of the soldiers, as well as a kitchen, there is also a small tunnel, but this very dark one that only the most adventurous dare to enter that leads to a nest of machine guns.
