Located on the southern tip of the island of La Palma, these two lighthouses, like faithful sleepers of the sea, have survived historic volcanic eruptions. The older one was built in 1892 after a long and expensive construction process and began operating in 1903. All materials were brought by ship and even the volcanic stone used for its construction came from a quarry in Arucas, Gran Canaria. On several occasions, geological phenomena have been close to destroying it, such as the earthquakes that preceded the eruption of the San Juan volcano in 1949 and the eruption of the Teneguía volcano in 1971, which damaged the structure of the building as a result of seismic movements. Due to its poor condition, in 1983 it was decided to project the construction of a new tower of approximately 24.15 m, attached to the old lighthouse. In 2006, the old lighthouse was converted to house the Interpretation Center of the Marine Protected Area of the island of La Palma.

The newer red and white lighthouse stands out because of its color alone. The old one next to it houses a small museum (maritime museum).

The southern end of Isla Bonita, or La Palma, is reached at these lighthouses. Beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean
