Faro de Punta Jandía
The lighthouse at the island's far southwest corner, surrounded by a barren volcanic rock coast, with a nature park interpretation center inside.
Faro de Punta Jandía stands at the westernmost tip of the Jandía Peninsula. Completed in the 1950s, it sits amid barren lava and gravel shoreline that feels like the end of the world. Inside the lighthouse is the interpretation center of Jandía Natural Park, which introduces the peninsula's marine life, plants and animals. Along the way you pass the small fishing village of Puertito de la Cruz, which has seafood restaurants. From Morro Jable, the route runs about 20 km along a gravel road. The surface is bumpy, so a four-wheel-drive vehicle or the 111 four-wheel-drive bus is recommended.
