It is located on the Curra Dike, a structure that protects the port from the winds, helping ships avoid obstacles and find their way. The Curra Dike Lighthouse is a tourist attraction in Málaga, especially for those visiting the port and the city. It offers stunning views of the port and the city and is a popular spot for photography.
You can climb the small tower. But what is special is the view of the harbor entrance. Many onlookers often gather here to watch the cruise ships depart or arrive.
The name of the lighthouse comes from the dam (Spanish: dique) de La Curra on which the tower was built. By bike, you simply ride towards the lighthouse on a road that runs along the artificial dam. The Faro del Dique de la Curra is also called the "Green Lighthouse" because of the color of the upper part of the building and its light. From there you can enjoy a wonderful view, and the little detour on the tour is worth it.
