Hiking

Next to the Montedor lighthouse stands this striking concrete structure from the 1930s. Built together with the Farol de Montedor, it worked as a unit: the lighthouse beamed its light, while the sea-facing tower housed a foghorn blasting sound across the Atlantic to guide ships in poor visibility. Today it remains a rare piece of maritime industrial heritage.
