Hiking

The Cape Ortegal Lighthouse as an infrastructure is not entirely impressive and this must be said. It is a simple cylindrical tower about 13 meters high made of concrete, with a red stripe that stands out, and which was built from 1984 by engineer Jaime Arrandiaga.

Hiking

One of the most impressive points of the Camino del Mar Rías Altas route in Galicia. Relatively new, this lighthouse was built on the tip of Cabo Ortega in the 1980s. The hike to this point offers spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged rocky coastline.
