Favàritx Lighthouse
Far de Favàritx
A black-and-white striped lighthouse standing on a 'moonscape' of black slate, a desolate and unique spot for watching sunrise and stars.
Around the lighthouse, wind and waves have eroded the black shale, creating a striking contrast with the white tower. Nearby are small coves such as Presa Bay and Tiboles Bay. The lighthouse itself is not open to visitors. It lies within Albufera des Grau Natural Park. In summer, when vehicle numbers are capped, you may have to transfer at the entrance or walk in. It is about 20 km from Mahón.
