Maspalomas Lighthouse
Maspalomas Lighthouse is a lighthouse that has weathered the elements, standing quietly where the dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean. Built in the late 19th century, it serves as a guiding beacon for navigation on the island. Initially, this area was just a desolate sea of sand, but the lighthouse cast a long shadow in the sunset, gradually becoming a symbol of this coastline. Strolling to the lighthouse, you will pass through soft dunes, with swaying palm trees nearby and a gentle sea breeze. Upon reaching its base, the light-colored stone walls and red-tiled roof create a charming contrast. Not only is its exterior elegant, but its annex is now open to the public as a folk craft exhibition center. Inside, wooden stairs lead to the former watch rooms, where exhibitions tell the story of the lighthouse's role in navigation, the island's transformation, and local handicrafts. At dusk, it forms a beautiful scene with the coastline and the sunset. The small square, restaurants, and handicraft shops nearby are perfect for relaxing after sightseeing.Meloneras · 3.1 km from downtown

What travelers say about Maspalomas
Senior in Age, Student at HeartNovember 18, 2021
5.0
The Maspalomas Dunes are a nature reserve with 400 hectares and 3 ecosystems coexisting: a palm grove, a brackish water lagoon, and the dunes. The 5-km hike on the dunes was quite the experience, nevermind a rather easy feat, as I have expected. The desert-like proportions of the sandhills blocked all wind and sound, allowing us to submerge into complete silence and isolation even on one of the most visited coasts in Europe.
