Maspalomas Lighthouse
Faro de Maspalomas
A stone lighthouse built in 1890 and about 56 meters tall, beside a seaside promenade and the Maspalomas Oasis lagoon.
The lighthouse stands at the island's southernmost point and is its tallest traditional lighthouse. It has been turned into a cultural space with small exhibitions. The seaside promenade in front of it is lined with restaurants and shops. To the east, you can walk to the Maspalomas Lagoon (La Charca), a saltwater lake surrounded by palm groves, where migratory birds visit in winter and the dunes lie right beside it. Watching the sunset here and strolling the promenade is a classic southern itinerary.
